The college has a large scholarship fund and makes many awards each year, principally for academic or dramatic achievement. As for all admissions, we will interview all candidates who may be asked to sit a relevant test or participate in an audition. Other considerations include: personal statements, participation in school activities, positions of responsibility, hobbies, interests and achievements outside of school and ambition. It is rare, although not impossible, for an award to exceed 50% of the published fees.

Terms and conditions of scholarship
Award winners will still be required to pay your examination fees, practical fees and such other incidental fees and expenses associated with their studies at Ashbourne.

Our expectations are high and we expect that scholarship  winners will fulfil their potential if they adhere to the following:

a.            always be punctual and attend all your classes and tutorials.
b.            complete all work in time,
c.            contribute to college life beyond the classroom
d.            have a positive attitude towards your studies,
e.            have a proactive attitude towards college events and excursions
f.            comply with Ashbourne rules on behaviour
g.            always be courteous and polite

The scholarship may be withdrawn at any time if an award winner’s:

a.            academic performance is consistently below what we judge is your             potential
b.            attendance at Ashbourne is not in accordance with Ashbourne's            requirements.
c            behaviour is detrimental to Ashbourne, teachers, other staff, other students and yourself.

It is extremely unusual for Ashbourne to withdraw scholarships. We have been very fortunate to accept exceptional students on scholarship in the past and have virtually always been pleased with their performance.
