Scholarships

At Prior Park College we believe that we can provide the level of support and encouragement to help scholars to develop their talents further and will ensure that a scholarship pupil has the opportunity to reach their full potential.

WE OFFER THE FOLLOWING SCHOLARSHIPS AT 11+, 13+ AND 16+

• Academic Scholarships
• Special Talent Scholarships: Visual Arts, D&T, Drama, Music, Sport

Applicants can apply for up to two Special Talent Scholarships but can only hold one - if an applicant is offered both, they must decide which scholarship would best suit their needs and aspirations.

Further details regarding each scholarship can be found in our Scholarships Booklet, downloadable from this page.

Students can hold an Academic Scholarship and one Special Talent Scholarship concurrently.

Scholarships will be reviewed throughout an award holder's time at the College and, whilst it is unusual for an award to be removed, a significant decline in commitment or behaviour by the student may result in the loss of the scholarship.

The continuation of the scholarship is also subject to a formal review:
Academic Scholarships will be reviewed at 16+
Special Talent Scholarships will be reviewed at 13+ and 16+

Scholarships relate to both potential and attainment and are up to the value of 10% of tuition fees for the first scholarship. Any additional scholarship award is in name only. Scholarships are awarded on merit and are independent of parental financial circumstances. Means tested Bursaries can be added to scholarships.
