Scholarships and Bursaries – Further Details
Academic Scholarships
Academic Scholarships are offered for entry at 11+ to candidates who have achieved outstanding results in the entrance examination and the subsequent interviews. We do not hold special scholarship examinations and no separate application is necessary. The value of scholarships is usually between 10% and 20% of fees (up to 30% in exceptional circumstances) and the award is valid for the duration of the student’s time at Habs, subject to consistent academic performance and co-curricular participation.
Other Scholarships
Traditionally the school has only offered Music Scholarships in addition to Academic Scholarships but, from September 2022 entry, we are excited to be expanding our offering to include Art, Creative Writing, Drama and Sports scholarships at 11+. The addition of these new awards is in recognition of our commitment to our co-curricular offering, especially in the creative arts and sport, and the outstanding opportunities that are open to all at Habs.
Bursaries
Bursaries are available for entry at 11+ and 16+. They are based on your family income and are reviewed annually. Awards range from 10% to 100% of school fees depending on your financial circumstances.
Students are also given help with transport, meals, academic trips and other expenses. (The support offered for these costs mirrors the tuition fee bursary percentage.)
