The Scholarships
There are up to five scholarships available annually and the top academic scholarship is named after the School’s founder, R W Robertson-Glasgow. All awards are made on merit which is determined chiefly by the candidate’s performance in the relevant examination. The Governing Body of St. Andrew’s School has agreed to limit the merit component of awards to a maximum of 5% of the fees. All applicants may apply for a bursary, calculated on the basis of financial need and subject to annual financial review. If an additional bursary is sought, parents of candidates must submit a confidential statement of financial circumstances. The value of all bursaries and awards granted on the basis of need is subject to annual review through a confidential means test. Forms may be obtained from the Bursar.
