Both scholarships and bursaries are available for applications into Year 7 and Year 12. As a charity, the GDST aims to seek out the brightest, most deserving girls for bursaries and scholarships so that the largest possible number of talented girls can benefit from a GDST education. In particular, it aims as far possible to focus its support on girls for whom the chance of a GDST education would be a transformative, life-changing prospect. The bursary scheme is managed and administered by the GDST. Bursaries are means tested and are funded via charitable partnerships, donations and legacies from former pupils, their parents and other friends. If your daughter would benefit from the educational experience which Sheffield Girls' is able to offer, but your family is not in a position to cover the full fees, you may be eligible for a GDST bursary or scholarship.
Bursaries are usually awarded to pupils in the top 30% of performance in the entrance examinations. Bursaries can range from 30% up to a maximum of the full published fees.
Scholarships are awarded on merit, irrespective of financial means. Offers are made based upon performance in the entrance examinations or audition for Year 7, or in the case of Sixth Form scholarships for outstanding ability demonstrated in individual subjects and disciplines. A Scholarship can be combined with a bursary where there is financial need.
Music and Sport Scholarships are available for entry into Year 7 and Sixth Form and information about these scholarships will be sent to interested applicants. Please tick the relevant box on the registration form to express your interest in these scholarships.
The deadline for scholarships and bursary applications is early December each year, though we accept applications for general admissions throughout the year.
