WHAT DOES A SCHOLARSHIP OFFER? The major contribution we can make to scholars is the development of their specialism through expert, tailored provision and support, via our bespoke scholar programmes. Reflecting the value of these programmes and following the tax changes imposed by the government from January 2025, we made the decision to set the level of fee remission associated with all scholarships at five per cent. For scholarship award winners, this can be supplemented by a means-tested bursary.
HOW MANY SCHOLARSHIPS CAN BE APPLIED FOR? Candidates can apply for more than one standalone scholarship
WHAT DO WE EXPECT FROM OUR APPLICANTS? Awards are made from the beginning of the Michaelmas term in Year 9, for the full five years at Eastbourne College provided that the award-holder continues to show appropriate effort, enthusiasm and performance, and is dependent on good conduct.Where appropriate and according to the sixth form scholarship criteria, scholars may forfeit their award if they do not study the subject beyond GCSE. All scholarships will be reviewed annually. The College reserves the right to withdraw awards if at any point, in the opinion of the Headmaster, and after monitoring procedures, the pupil is performing significantly below expectations or in cases of serious misconduct.
