Scholarships - Number and Value, Conditions and Criteria

Scholarships - Number and Value

The trustees have agreed that for 2008-2009,  30 scholarships maybe awarded of between £300 and £500 (GBP), and one or two of up to £1,000 in value.

New awards:  The Trustees have agreed that one or two scholarships of £1,000 may be awarded to candidates whose financial needs are such that a gap year project would not be possible without such an award.

Scholarships - Conditions

  1. Winners of scholarships must agree to come back to their school at an appropriate time after their return from their gap year project to talk to the Sixth Form about their experiences.
  2. Winners of scholarships must write a report for the Trustees to be sent to the administrator immediately after their return from their project.

Scholarships - Criteria

Candidates need to fulfil the following criteria:

  1. The benefit to the community of the country/countries visited during the gap year project. The majority of awards go to boys and girls involved in projects in poorer countries or the poorer areas of other countries.
  2. The suitability of the organisation of the project in terms of duration and the gap organization involved, if there is one.
  3. Financial need, assessed from the report from the Head, the statements in the application form, and the breakdown of expenses and methods of raising money in the application form.
  4. Suitable character and promise, assessed from the quality of the written application and the reference of the Head of the school.
