How 11+ scholarships work
Many schools award academic scholarships from the 11+ entrance exam, sometimes with an extra paper or interview. Music, sport, art and drama awards usually have their own audition, trial or portfolio.
Most 11+ exams fall between November and January of Year 6. Scholarship applications often close earlier, in the autumn term.
How to prepare
- Check whether an academic award needs a separate application or comes from the exam alone.
- Note each school's scholarship deadline, which can fall before registration for the place closes.
- For a specialist award, ask early about the audition, trial or portfolio, as it may fall before the exam.

When do 11+ scholarship applications close?

Is there a separate exam for an 11+ scholarship?
Often not. Many schools decide academic awards from the 11+ entrance exam, then interview the strongest candidates. Others set an extra paper, so check each school's terms.
Can a scholarship be combined with a bursary?
Often, yes. A scholarship rewards merit and does not depend on income, while a bursary is means-tested. Many families hold both, though some schools limit the combined value.
