TLF Scholarship Rules

To obtain a TLF scholarship for the next year, a student should meet the following criteria during the current year of education. These rules apply to both H-FARM and The Island students.

IB Program

Satisfy the requirements of the current IB program:

  1. Complete the required number of courses and core components of the program.
  2. Pass the regular school exams.
  3. Pass the IB mathematics (Mat h Extended for the MYP, Analysis and Approaches HL for the DP program), physics (HL for the DP program), and computer science (HL for the DP program) with a score of at least 5 (out of 6 for the MYP students; out of 7 for the DP students).

Advanced Courses

Complete the advanced courses in Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science:

  1. Pass all the mid-term and final exams provided by the TLF office (see below for details).
  2. Complete all the assignments and assessments with a satisfactory mark or higher.
  3. Other requirements announced by the teacher or the TLF office at the beginning of a semester.

Extra Courses (by specialisation)

Complete the extra course in Mathematics, Physics, or Computer Science (depending on the specialisation):

  1. Pass all the mid-term and final exams provided by the TLF office (see below for details).
  2. Complete all the assignments with a satisfactory mark or higher.
  3. Other requirements announced by the teacher or the TLF office at the beginning of a semester.

Tests and Assignments

  1. Each test or assignment is graded out of 8 for the MYP students and out of 7 for the DP students; the lowest passing mark is 4.
  2. Students with unsatisfactory grades might be given a second attempt to retake the test by a special decision of a TLF coordinator.

Exams Schedule and Evaluation

  1. There are three exams in mathematics, two in physics, and two in computer science per year. The schedules for these subjects do not depend on the selected major. However, the content of the exams may vary.
  2. Approximate timeline:
    • Midterm 1 (1st-2nd week of December):
      Based on the topics of September-November and the previous year.
    • Midterm 2 (3rd - 4th week of March, math only):
      Based on the topics of November-February.
    • Final exam (1st-2nd week of June):
      Based on the all-year topics.
  3. Each midterm or final exam is graded out of 8 for the MYP students and out of 7 for the DP students; the lowest passing mark is 4.
  4. Each midterm or final exam can be retaken one more time after submitting ‘work on mistakes’. Students with unsatisfactory grades must take the second attempt; the second attempt grades no better than 6. After a failed second attempt, further participation in the program is decided after a talk with the project office and the teachers.
