The Queen’s College Academic Scholarship
Queen’s College offers a number of Academic Scholarships each year. Scholarship candidates are assessed on their aptitude and potential across a range of disciplines.
Queen’s scholars are very much part of the vibrant community. The university destinations for our Academic Scholars include coveted places at Oxford, Cambridge, Durham, Exeter, Bath, Imperial, Loughborough, Manchester and Birmingham and other great universities in the UK and overseas.
Requirements All scholarship candidates will sit a nationally standardised adaptive baseline test of academic potential. A reference will be requested from the candidate’s current school, with special reference to the candidate’s academic strengths, attitude to work, character, behaviour and interests. Candidates for Sixth Form entry scholarships will also complete a 30 minute extended writing exercise on a topic from a given list, dependent on which subjects they are considering studying at A Level.
Interview Every Academic Scholarship candidate will be invited for an interview with the Head and Deputy Head (Academic), providing an opportunity for us to discover more about the candidate’s potential, ability and interests. We will then make a decision on any scholarship award based on the interview, the outcome of the tests and their school reference.
