Scholarship and boarding bursaries introduction

The King's School offers a wide range of scholarships and bursaries for entry to Years 7 - 11.

Scholarships have an academic focus. The primary criteria for an award is the result of a
competitive examination conducted by an independent testing organisation. Supporting documentation detailing interest and achievements in performing arts, sport and leadership may be taken into consideration following academic ranking.

A full Scholarship

A full Scholarship allows for the remission of tuition fees throughout a boy's secondary school career, dependant on satisfactory progress.

Part scholarships

Part scholarships are also awarded.

Bursaries are usually relevant to boarder applicants and typically assist with between 50% and
100% of boarding fees to attend the School. Bursaries also demand academic standards, but take into consideration all-round interest, achievements and the financial needs of the applicant's family.

• Scholarships to enter the Preparatory School are not available.
• Family Admission Fee
  Boys awarded scholarships pay a reduced Family Admission Fee.
• Tenure
  Tenure of any scholarship or bursary is subject to satisfactory conduct and progress.
• The availability of scholarships
  The availability of scholarships and bursaries and application details are advertised between September and November each year.
