Ashbourne offers scholarships to gifted and talented students who will benefit from the high quality tuition, individual attention and support we provide.
The Ashbourne Scholarships Programme offers a limited number of scholarship places particularly for Music, Drama and English Literature.
Scholarships may range from 10 to 100% of tuition fees.
We carefully assess each student’s application and consider personal statements, participation in school activities, positions of responsibility, hobbies, interests and achievements outside of school, as well as ambition.
Applicants are asked to attend auditions, interviews and take written tests depending on the scholarship they apply for.
All applicants must meet the requirements:
Applicants should also demonstrate:
Ashbourne offers a level of constituency and high standard of teaching that sets anyone up to perform well. Ashbourne really does try to put the student first and allows them to be the driver of their future.

Students applying for Music and Drama scholarships will be required to attend auditions.
Each student will be assigned a 15 minute slot where they will perform in front of a panel and asked questions about their performance.
Where auditions take place
Students should come to the college’s main building:
17 Old Court Place,
Kensington,
W8 4PL
Nearest tube station – High Street Kensington (District & Circle line)
The outcome
Students need to complete the audition as well as attend an interview and take some admissions tests before decisions are finalised. Scholarships will be awarded on a first come first serve basis and therefore it is best to have your interview and complete the tests prior to the audition.
