All Scholarships are subject to annual review and are tenable for a specific educational stage. Development Awards are held in Years 7 and 8 until students can apply for a Basil Hume Scholarship into Year 9. Basil Hume scholarships are held for three years before assessment for a Senior Scholarship into the Sixth Form.
In Years 7 and 8, to encourage junior pupils to further their interests, Academic and Sport Development Awards carry a 10% fee remission while Music, Drama and Dance Development Awards cover tuition in an instrument, LAMDA or dance. From Year 9 onwards, scholarships are honorary and bring no fee remission, but as a very strong indication of a child likely to flourish at Ampleforth they can be extremely helpful in supporting a bursary application.
All scholarships are won in open competition and are awarded solely on merit. The number of awards and bursaries made in any year is at the discretion of the Head.
Please follow the links below for full details on all awards and scholarships. Sample academic papers and application forms can be found at the bottom of this page.
