Frequently asked questions

What is a scholarship?

A scholarship is an award for merit in academic work, music, sport, art or drama. It is usually worth 5–20% of fees and is assessed by exam, audition, trial or portfolio.

When are scholarship application deadlines?

Mostly between October and December for entry the following September, often a week or more before the school's registration deadline. Music deadlines are usually the earliest.

Do I apply for a scholarship separately?

Almost always. Registering for a place does not enter your child for an award. There is usually a separate form, with its own deadline, asking for a reference, recording or portfolio.

What is the difference between a scholarship and a bursary?

A scholarship rewards merit and is usually a small share of fees. A bursary is means-tested on household income and assets and can cover up to 100% of fees.

When do scholarship assessments take place?

Academic papers are usually sat in January or February. Music auditions, sports trials and art portfolio reviews often start in November. See our assessment dates page.
