Scholarships
Each year èßäAV awards a number of academic scholarships to help fund the fees of gifted and talented students who are likely to gain particular benefit from our academic provision and the more general opportunities the college has to offer. In turn, we expect award recipients not only to contribute to èßäAV’s reputation for academic success but also to participate in broader aspects of college life.
Academic scholarships are awarded entirely on academic merit and students sit the college’s Scholarship Exam following a formal application process.
Type and nature of awards available
- Academic scholarships: awarded to students who are able to demonstrate excellent general all round academic ability or outstanding ability in a particular subject area.
- Creative and performing arts scholarships: awarded to students who are able to demonstrate excellence in art, drama or music.
- The Woodward scholarship: named in honour of Robert Woodward, one of the founders of èßäAV, and awarded to a student studying English Literature as one of their subjects at A level.
Each year èßäAV sets a budget for academic awards based on anticipated fee income. The value of scholarships ranging between 15-40% of tuition fees, with the exception of the Woodward Scholarship which is up to a full fees award. Scholarships are typically valid for the entire duration of the programme for which a student is enrolled.
