Aside from academia, many applicants will wish to demonstrate the positive input they could bring to the College in the fields of sport, music, drama and visual arts. Other supporting evidence may also be included, such as certificates and awards.

Our next Sixth Form Assessment Day will take place before the end of the year – further details will be available soon. 

About The Scarborough Scholar Award

Over 120 years ago, the Victorian founders of Scarborough College established a school with a charitable foundation to provide a top class education for deserving boys of the area who demonstrated obvious academic potential. 

Today, though the modern educational landscape might look a little different, the College remains as committed as ever to providing aspiring local families with a realistic and affordable choice for educational excellence. Many of our present College parents, desiring the best for their child and/or dissatisfied with the performance of other schooling options in the area, benefit from our Assisted Places Scheme in order to provide their son or daughter with the first-class experience that will maximise their life opportunities.

Taking our Assisted Places Scheme one step further, and in keeping with the school’s foundation, the Governors of the College have agreed to provide families from the Scarborough and surrounding areas with the opportunity to apply for their son or daughter to become what has been termed the Scarborough Scholar, with a fee reduction of up to a full 100%.
