Scholarships

We offer Scholarships on merit at Berkhamsted. Scholarships and Exhibitions are only awarded on entry to Berkhamsted Senior Schools and Sixth (at 11+, 13+ and 16+) and thus are not available to pupils within the School. Pupils at the preparatory schools within the Berkhamsted Schools Group, however, are eligible for Scholarships if applying for entry to the Senior Schools.

 

We consider pupils for Scholarships based on the contribution we feel they could make to school life, whether academic, dramatic, musical, sporting or creative or as potential leaders.

Our Scholarships offer a full programme for the development of our Scholars’ talents. The Scholarship will normally be tenable throughout the pupil’s time at Berkhamsted, subject to the conditions of the award. Exhibitions may also be awarded for music and drama.  The financial award for our Scholarships is the cost of extra tuition (where applicable), in addition to a fixed discount from the first terms fees on joining the School.  Additional Bursary funding may be applied for following an offer of a Scholarship or Exhibition.  The financial award for an Exhibition in Music or Drama will cover the cost of extra tuition.  The cost of examinations are not included.

All awards may be varied at the absolute discretion of the Principal.

After our published deadlines we may be able to consider truly exceptional candidates for a scholarship, on an individual basis, during the lent term. This will be at the absolute discretion of the Principal.
