The Stamford Schools’ scholarships programme identifies pupils with outstanding talents and skills in a variety of fields and helps develop those talents during their time at the Schools.
Scholarships are awarded on entry to Year 7, 9 and 12, although there are later opportunities to gain a scholarship once a child becomes a pupil at the Schools. Pupils who enter the Schools in Years 7 and 8 may apply internally for Art, Drama, Sport and All-rounder Scholarships as these are not available before Year 9. Pupils may sit for all scholarships on moving into the Sixth Form.
All scholarships may be supplemented by fee assistance, subject to means-testing. Applications for any means-tested support should be made separately. For more details on fee assistance please click here or talk to the Schools’ Admissions Office.
The Benefits of a Scholarship
Scholarships and awards provide students with the opportunity to participate in the Scholars’ Programme, which supports breadth and depth of learning, incorporates mentoring and support, and gives students access to additional activities. Pupils who receive an award will also have their name included on the Scholars’ List, and will be recognised as a Scholar.
Full details of each programme be found below:

More on our Scholarships
Scholarship provision is designed to recognise boys and girls with outstanding talents and skills in a variety of fields and to help develop those talents during their time at the Schools. We offer scholarships in academia, music, art, drama, sports and an ‘all rounder’ award, and these can be explored further through the links below.
The Application Process
To apply for a scholarship, you must complete the application form for the award in which you are interested, and return it to us by late November. These forms can be downloaded below. For most scholarships, your child will complete an exam or assessment. We will let you know if your child has been awarded a scholarship when we write to you to confirm their offer of a place at the Schools.
Please be aware that all academic scholarships are offered based on entrance examination performance or as part of our Sixth Form application process, and there is no need to complete an application form.
