Day School Scholarship

Scholarships are designed to reward excellence and to celebrate exceptional talent and potential. In recognition of their achievement, scholars may be offered a reduction in fees throughout their time at the College, subject to conditions. Scholarships are subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed.

Whatever the financial worth of the award, we value all scholars equally, and view recognition as a scholar as the prime reward.

How Scholarships Work

How Awards Are Made

Subject-specific or general scholarships may be awarded to candidates based on their performance during an assessment and interview. The Executive Principal and the Business & Finance Manager will consider a number of factors when judging whether a scholarship is justified, and the extent of the support offered.

What We Look For

Attention is given to each applicant’s academic assessment result, but potential is considered as well as actual achievement. Scholarships are limited, and priority is given to those judged most likely to gain the most from the education we provide. Each pupil offered a scholarship must, in the opinion of the Executive Principal, be likely to make sound academic progress following admission, possess the potential to develop the quality of his or her work, and benefit from the wider extra-curricular activities on offer at the College. Previous school reports will also be reviewed for evidence of good behaviour.

The Value of an Award

The financial value of a scholarship varies according to academic ability and subject choices. Awards are generally capped at 30% of fees, though exceptional academic candidates can be awarded up to 60%.

 

Confidentiality
The College respects the confidentiality of scholarships awarded to families, and recipients are expected to do likewise.
