How schools choose

Schools usually look at academic results alongside strength in at least two other areas, using references and an interview.

How to prepare

  • List what your child does in and out of school, with levels and dates.
  • Ask the current school early for a reference.
  • Prepare to talk about what your child would add to school life, not just what they have won.

Frequently asked questions

How much is an all-rounder scholarship worth?

Of the 44 all-rounder awards that publish a percentage, the typical one is worth about 25% of fees, and the highest up to 100%. Many others state no figure, and some are mostly honorary.

How are all-rounder scholarships assessed?

Schools usually look at academic results alongside strength in at least two other areas, using references and an interview.

What is an all-rounder scholarship?

It rewards strength across several areas, such as academic work, sport, the arts and leadership, for a child who may not stand out enough in one area alone to win a specialist award.

When do all-rounder scholarship applications close?

Mostly between October and December for entry the following September, and often a few weeks before registration closes. It is usually a separate application with its own deadline, so check each school.

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.
