Maria Rosa Culell scholarship

The Maria Rosa Culell scholarship programme offers a unique academic and personal experience which allows scholarship recipients to graduate through the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme at St. Peter’s School in Barcelona.

The Diploma Programme in English, the IB methodology, and the possibility to study in an international school with students from all over the world make this scholarship a great opportunity to start building a future full of challenges.

These grants are merit-based and aim to support those students who have excellent academic and non-academic achievements. They intend to avoid limited resources being an obstacle to completing the two school years of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) at St. Peter’s School.
Please note that these scholarships are aimed at students who are not yet studying at St. Peter’s.
