These are known as Scholarships and are awards of financial support based on a child demonstrating excellence or particular potential in a certain field of academic study or performance. Depending on the type of scholarship or award given, there is a percentage reduction in the overall fees.
The amount awarded for these school scholarships depends on the calibre of the candidate and is based on the performance in an examination and/or assessment.
Academic, music, piping, and art scholarships are available at Glenalmond, as well as an all-rounder award for those showing particular aptitude in more than one area including sport.
Glenalmond provides a range of college scholarship examinations to ensure that we attract the best quality pupils from all backgrounds. Scholarship pupils are thought of highly within the school.
Further details on College Scholarships and financial support can be found in our Guide to Financial Assistance 2012-13 (pdf download)
There is more information about the support we provide for our most academically gifted pupils on the Scholars and Exhibitioners page.
