Scholarships
RECOGNISING AND REWARDING TALENT
There are several scholarships available to Year 7 applicants at St Nicholas’ School.
Year 7 applicants can apply for up to two scholarships, each of which is an honorary award that also carries a small financial reward, beginning in the Senior School. Scholarships are open to both internal and external candidates.
To qualify for the Academic, Art and Textiles, Drama, Music, and Sport scholarships, your daughter must sit the Entrance Examinations and achieve the expected academic standard. Each scholarship signifies excellence in its respective area and should be a source of great pride for the holder.
Candidates wishing to apply for a scholarship must notify the Admissions and Marketing Manager before sitting the Entrance Examination.
Scholarship examinations for Year 7 entry in September 2025 will be held shortly after the autumn term Entrance Examination, in January 2025.
OUR SCHOLARSHIPS
