Westlink International School · 3 min read
HANOI, 9 November 2026. Westlink International School will hold its Future Leaders Scholarship Testing Day on Saturday 28 November, from 9:00 to 11:30 at its campus in Xuan Dinh, Hanoi. The morning is open to prospective students entering Grades 6 to 9 in the 2027-2028 school year and their families.
The testing day is linked to the school's MRC (Ministry Curriculum / Bilingual) Program for School Year 2027-2028. The Future Leaders Scholarship is designed to recognise students who show high academic achievement, leadership qualities, critical thinking and a commitment to community development, and it can cover up to 60% of tuition fees.
Candidates sit the CAT4 test, an internationally standardised assessment that measures cognitive and logical reasoning across verbal, numerical, non-verbal and spatial areas. The test is taken entirely in English on computers and lasts approximately 90 minutes. Students do not need to memorise material or attend test-preparation classes beforehand.
The programme also includes a Q&A session for parents with the Admissions Team and Academic Leaders, to discuss student pathways and university preparation, and an introduction to Westlink's bilingual pathway, its facilities and its international learning environment as part of the International Schools Partnership (ISP).
The scholarship is open to new students entering Secondary School from any educational background, whether they currently attend a public, private or international school; it does not apply to current Westlink students. Once awarded, it accompanies the student through Secondary Bilingual education for a maximum of four years. Renewal is reviewed by the Board every year and depends on strong academic performance, personal effort, consistent attendance and an active contribution to the school community.
