GIIS Sports Scholarships and their benefits

It is no secret that children are gifted differently. Some children perform exceptionally in academic work, others in sports, while others thrive in art. It is, therefore, important for  every child to gain support in their area of expertise. The Global Indian International School recognizes students excelling  in sports; hence it provides  sports scholarships to  them.

The Global Sports Scholarship (GSS) is a three-year scholarship program and the eligibility is  learners from  grades 1-12. It is offered by the Global School Foundation (GSF) to support young sports talent. However, it is challenging to get a sports scholarship if the students  do not know the role of sports in their lives .

Sports are essential in a student’s life for the following reasons:-

1. Sports help Learners stay Healthy

Physical exercise helps learners to lead a healthy lifestyle. Today, many lifestyle diseases such as obesity are on the rise due to the food consumed, especially junk food, and lack of physical exercise.

Engaging in sports activities, therefore, helps to reduce the risk of contracting lifestyle-associated illnesses. Moreover, physical exercise helps strengthen learners’ muscles and bones, boosting body balance, especially in young children.

2. Sports contribute to Excellent Academic Performance

Regular exercise leads to an increase in the size of the hippocampus. Hippocampus is an area in the brain responsible for learning and memory. Its increase leads to increased brain power and boosts a learner’s cognitive abilities and ability to recall, translating to better performance.

Exercise also increases blood and oxygen flow in the brain, stimulating brain cells’ growth, thus improving its functionality. The mind is the centre of all cognitive abilities; therefore, exercise gives it an enabling environment to perform as per expectations, which undoubtedly increases your chances to win a sports scholarship.

3. Sports boost Social Skills

Sports create an enabling environment for student interactions. Through the exchanges, learners develop an ability to express themselves effectively, hence communication skills. In case of a dispute, they calmly resolve the disagreement to continue with the game, thus gaining problem-solving skills.

They also learn how to accommodate each other’s differences for a match to continue, which is an excellent social attribute. Therefore, sports foster the growth of a social adult capable of living in harmony with others.

4. Boosts Learners Confidence

When a learner can successfully perform a sports activity, for example, scoring a goal, they become confident in their abilities. They believe that they can accomplish anything they set their mind to.  The confidence is translated even in the classroom where learners become optimistic in producing good academic grades, thus striving to achieve them.

5. Creates a Success Mindset

Learners engage in a sports activity with the sole aim of becoming winners, whether it is hockey or football, to mention a few. Therefore, learners develop a thirst for success in anything they set their minds to do. The mindset is evident even in improved academic performance.

Now that you are familiar with the sports’ role in a student’s life, focus on the benefits of a GIIS sports scholarship.

The following are the benefits of sports scholarship:-

1. Enables a Student to access Basic Education

Although the only way one is eligible for a sports scholarship is by showing exceptional competency in a sports activity, the scholarship allows you to study in a quality school.

You will get to interact with competent and experienced teachers who impart top-notch education. So, you get to gain quality education as you continue showing prowess in the sport you thrive in.

Education is vital for every child. Parents should ensure that every child gets access to primary education. Because education is an expensive investment, a sports scholarship is an alternative means of providing child access.

2. Helps to Nurture Talents

A sports scholarship helps to identify young talents and nurture them to produce excellent sportspersons. Through a scholarship, a learner enrols in the best schools such as the International School in Noida sector 62, where they interact with fellow students gifted in the same sport.

As they interact and compete against each other, a learner gets to perfect their skill. What’s more, the learner is under a professional and competent coach who guides the learner every step of the way into becoming a one-of-a-kind sportsperson.

Through nurturing a student’s talent, they can gain expertise to even make sporting a lifelong profession in the line of Usain Bolt.

3. Helps to Improve Learners Financial Background

Most students who benefit from the sports scholarship are from very humble backgrounds. Winning a sports scholarship gives the learners a chance to turn their financial situation around completely.

Furthermore, a sports scholarship helps nurture their sports talent, make sports a profession, and use the payments to support their families.

For a learner from a humble background, even accessing basic amenities such as food, shelter, and proper healthcare, to mention a few, is a challenge to them, a scholarship is a step towards eradicating poverty.

4. Boosts a Positive Reputation

Schools such as the Global Indian International School in Noida accrue a positive public image for offering a sports scholarship translating to more student admissions and an excellent public name.

Additionally, a scholarship brings a lot of recognition to a student. They are viewed as a source of inspiration to their peers. Also, it brings a sense of self-pride and confidence to the learner.
