Sevenoaks scholarships honour and celebrate exceptional talent in academia, art, drama, music and sport. Scholars benefit from the guidance and encouragement of specialist staff from the moment they arrive, as well as wonderful enrichment opportunities.
As an inclusive school, Sevenoaks does not make a strongly-marked distinction between scholars and other students. Scholars are looked to as leaders in their field, galvanising other students with their passion, but our message is that all talented, dedicated students deserve support to achieve their goals and potential. This approach is welcomed by all students, including the scholars themselves, who appreciate and flourish in the less pressured environment this creates.
OUR SCHOLARSHIPS
Academic scholarships are available at all entry points and are offered after the entrance exams.
Co-curricular scholarships are offered in art, drama, music and sport. Music scholarships are available to external candidates at all entry points, while art, drama and sport scholarships are available to internal candidates at 13+ entry, and to external candidates at 13+ and 16+ entry. Candidates can only apply for one co-curricular scholarship. Co-curricular scholarships are also awarded ad hoc to students who demonstrate exceptional talent whilst at the school, at the school’s discretion.
We no longer offer a financial element to our scholarships, as we embrace a principle of awarding financial assistance according to need. Music scholars still receive free tuition in one instrument.
This enables us to offer means-tested financial assistance to prospective Sevenoaks students whose families otherwise could not afford to finance their child’s place. We feel this is the right and equitable thing to do. Over the years, many families of scholars have taken the same view and donated their fee reduction to the financial assistance fund; we are most grateful to them.
