In keeping with its charitable status, Scarborough College is committed to the pursuit of educational excellence and to widening access to the College for children whose families cannot afford the payment of full fees. The following Scholarships are available:
The Scarborough Scholar
Annually, the College may award up to a 100% reduction in fees in connection with a new pupil’s entry into either the Prep School (Year 6 only) or Senior School. The Scarborough Scholar Assessment Day takes place every November and applications can be submitted via the Admissions Team. This award includes a means-testing process. More details can be found on the Scarborough Scholar website page.

Financially assisted places are means tested and the criteria are as follows:
The financial assistance can be very substantial and applicant families are means tested in order to ensure that places are awarded fairly. The level of assistance is reviewed annually. Pupils in receipt of a financially assisted place must also maintain the highest standards of conduct, endeavour and commitment throughout their time at the College.
In order to apply for either a Scholarship or an Assisted Place, a full application, including Registration Form and £75 Registration Fee must have been submitted to the Admissions team.
Those wishing to apply for any of the available scholarships are requested to complete the Scholarship Application Form which can be accessed online, by clicking on the link below. All applicants will then be invited to attend the next Scholarship Day in March.

If you require more information or clarification, please contact the Registrar or the Admissions team.
