TASIS England Welcomes First Lyle Rigg Scholar

A living tribute to a leader who believed in the power of education.

Grade 11 student Harper has been named the first Lyle Rigg Scholar, a distinction for service, leadership and personal growth. The scholarship honors the late Lyle Rigg, former Headmaster of TASIS England, who was known across the TASIS schools for his commitment to international education.

Harper first studied at TASIS England from 2021 to 2024 before returning from the US this year. She plays basketball and piano, is an Admissions Ambassador and gives her time to community service. "I am honored to return to TASIS England as the first recipient of the Lyle Rigg Scholarship," she says. "I'm excited to give back to the community that has given me so many opportunities."

"The Lyle Rigg Scholarship is more than an award," said Head of School Bryan Nixon. "It is a living tribute to a leader who believed deeply in the transformative power of education. Harper is a fitting first recipient."
