The X-quisit Scholars Scholarship aims to promote the development of young students to reach their full intellectual, social and spiritual potentials as individuals. XSS will bring on awareness to the students that their lives matter and that they are responsible citizens in the community. One of XSS's methods to accomplish our aim is by providing an attractive scheme of financial support to young students who are attending school at the 6th-grade level. XSS supplies the student’s school clothing and the necessary school essentials to stimulate self-confidence, commitment, a sense of belonging, and peer awareness to alleviate peer pressure.
​
Even though our scholarship is awarded to a 6th-grade student for that year, it can continue through to their 8th-grade level. It depends on the student's commitment to achieving a higher grade level by the end of each year.
Please note: Scholarship applications will be made available at attending school.
