Decision

Scholarship decisions will consider the whole child, but selections will be based upon the overall quality of the candidate’s application, their unique skills and talents, supporting evidence, potential contribution to the school community, and interview performance.

Scholarships are awarded subject to the discretion of the school’s scholarship panel, which will determine the number and level of all awards.

Financial need, gender, and passport diversity are also considered to allow all students to access this opportunity. Parents are invited to submit an additional statement outlining any unique circumstances (financial, hardship, multiple siblings, etc.) that warrant special consideration for their child’s application.
