Arts Scholarships
A Wellington Scholarship is awarded for excellence and high-level potential for a limited number of individuals. To be eligible for a Scholarship a pupil will be in years 10 to 13, although exceptional pupils from year 7 upwards will be considered. It constitutes a bespoke programme of study in addition to the normal curriculum, and either a 50% or 100% fee reduction for the right person. The Scholarship is for highly motivated and talented pupils. The ideal candidate should have a burning desire to continue their Scholarship area at university and beyond.
