An Introduction to Scholarships
If you think you could take up the challenge of being a scholar at Queen’s then please do apply. We welcome applicants with proven excellence and clear potential in a specialist area and we would also encourage you to apply if your talents extend across the disciplines. For example, if you are a top musician who also loves playing sport; an academic who is also appreciative of the arts or an excellent sportsperson who loves to lead a debate. All Queen’s students contribute to the richness of the community and our scholars are there to be trail blazers to lead the way and set the standards. Our teachers are talented in their own specialisms with many being professional artists, musicians and sports specialists, who have played at the highest levels.
Scholars are at the heart of everything we do and stand for at Queen’s College. They are important to us as they work hard and promote the qualities that make Queen’s an individual school with family values. Working alongside other talented pupils is part of the challenge and creates a vibrant experience for our scholars. Queen’s College Scholarships and Awards recognise exceptional aptitude and talent in a range of specialist areas. The purpose of these awards is to attract students who: Q Strive for excellence in their thinking and creativity. Q Wish to be thoughtful, confident, reliable young people who will become leaders in society. Q Have strong moral and spiritual fibre. We encourage our scholars to do the very best they can at all times. We want them to become individuals who will match or exceed our expectations. We support them and develop their potential and, in return, we expect a great deal from them. Our aspiration is that they will contribute to the Queen’s community and be an inspiration to those around them.
