Scholarships and Bursaries
If a student has strong academic talents, is keen to study in a supportive small college and would enjoy making friends from across the world, Padworth College may well be able to offer financial support. The decision to grant a Scholarship or Bursary is taken according to individual circumstances. Scholarships can reduce the cost of fees by as much as 50% and Bursaries may be available to top up the shortfall for promising students.
Scholarships
The College awards a number of Academic and Art Scholarships at all levels to such students who show outstanding ability and potential. These Scholarships are worth between 10% and 50% of the full college fees (tuition and accommodation in the case of a boarder).
Academic and Art Scholarships - 14+(GCSE), 16+(Sixth Form)
Sixth Form Day Student Academic Scholarship
Bursaries
Bursaries are awarded to outstanding students whose families would otherwise be unable to afford to pay the fees for their child to attend Padworth College. A small number of Bursaries may be available for the families of former students and for those students who would not necessarily be of scholarship ability but who would benefit from Padworth's special ethos, where potential can be realised. All Bursaries are means-tested.
All awards are made for the duration of the student's studies at Padworth and are subject to continued good behaviour and commitment to study. Scholarship students are expected to remain at Padworth College to complete their education.
