Admissions Scholarships

Scholarships

Our Scholarship Programme celebrates exceptional talent and is designed to nurture and support boys in their areas of strength throughout their time at Tonbridge. Scholars are encouraged to participate actively in all aspects of School life, embodying the values and spirit of our School community.

Year 9 Scholarships

We offer Academic, Art, Design Technology and Engineering, Drama, Music and Sports Scholarships. Applications are open to boys joining the School in Year 9. Boys applying for these scholarships must already hold an Unconditional Offer of a School place before sitting a scholarship assessment in Year 8. Candidates may apply for multiple awards.

Sixth Form Scholarships

Music and Sport Scholarships are also available for boys joining the Sixth Form.

Junior Foundation Scholarship

The Junior Foundation Scholarship is awarded in Year 6 to bright and talented boys, typically (but not exclusively) those studying at state primary schools. Up to 10 such awards are made each year, enabling boys whose financial circumstances would otherwise prevent an application to Tonbridge being able to attend.

Further details about the Junior Foundation Scholarships are available here.

Application process

Scholarship recognition

For boys awarded scholarships in Year 8 who do not require, or are not eligible for financial support, a one-off payment of £2,000 will be made in recognition of their achievement. This amount will be deducted from the first term’s fees.

Lower Sixth Honorary Academic Scholarships

These are awarded to boys, who are not already School scholars but who have achieved exceptional results in their GCSEs. They receive an honorarium of £100.
