How schools choose
Schools usually ask to see projects your child has designed and made, often with a practical task and an interview.
How to prepare
- Photograph projects at each stage, not only the finished piece.
- Include sketches and what your child would change next time.
- Ask whether the school sets a practical task on the day.
Frequently asked questions
How much is a design and technology scholarship worth?
Of the 25 design and technology awards that publish a percentage, the typical one is worth about 10% of fees, and the highest up to 50%. Many others state no figure, and some are mostly honorary.
How are design and technology scholarships assessed?
Schools usually ask to see projects your child has designed and made, often with a practical task and an interview.
What counts as a project for a design and technology scholarship?
Things your child has designed and made, at school or at home. Schools generally care as much about how the idea developed and was tested as about the finished piece.
When do design and technology 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.
