Scholarships and Special Awards
Scholarship Awards
Stonyhurst has a long tradition of excellence that seeks to develop the full human potential
of its pupils.
We continue to excel in something we have successfully achieved for over 430 years – shaping individuals to be the best version of themselves, wherever their strengths and
talents lie.
Our Scholarship Programme identifies and rewards pupils who excel in a particular area, with human flourishment being one of the cornerstones of a Jesuit education.
Scholarships are awarded at 11+, 13+ and 16+ entry points.
Academic Scholarships offer three tiers of fee remission, these are:
- Major - 20% fee remission
- Minor - 10% fee remission
- Exhibition - 5% fee remission
All other Scholarships are Exhibition only and carry a fee remission of 5%.
There are also honorary scholarships awarded that do not carry any additional fee support but place children on the relevant scholarship pathway to share in the life of the scholars.
Scholarships are the highest awards offered by Stonyhurst and are granted at the discretion of the Headmaster.
Pupils may be in receipt of up to three scholarships at any one time. Two scholarships can carry fee remission (provided one scholarship is Academic) and the third must be pathway only.
It is essential that all external scholarship applicants have registered for a place at Stonyhurst before applying for a scholarship. Please register for a place by clicking the button below.
Being a Stonyhurst Scholar
Being a Stonyhurst Scholar carries privilege and responsibility. Every scholar is expected to set an example to other pupils in their general conduct and behaviour at Stonyhurst and should continue enthusiastically to fulfil the obligations associated with their scholarship. They are expected to embrace all the opportunities available to them.
The tenure of a scholarship is for the duration of the holder’s education at Stonyhurst, provided that the holder’s academic progress and general conduct remain satisfactory. There will be an annual review of progress and contribution to determine this.
Stonyhurst Scholarships provide an enriched pathway for pupils within their chosen discipline. Each Scholar is provided with a pathway, which meets their individual needs, allowing them to reach their unique potential.
What scholarships are available?
Scholarships are available for Academia, Music, Drama, Art and Design, Drama and Musical Theatre and Sport. A small number of honorary scholarships are offered in the Sixth Form. These do not carry any additional financial support, but recipients are expected to share in the life of the scholars.
