The Ferox Hall Award

Progress against targets

Since fundraising began in March 2008, Old Ferocians have been stepping forward with support for the scheme. Here's how we're doing against our targets:

The scheme in summary

• Ongoing support at Ferox for talented and deserving boys who will clearly benefit from the experience.
• Parents or guardians will be means-tested and fee remission will be up to 100%.
• Candidates must show passion and potential. They must also be able to contribute to the life of the House (the aim of the scheme is a two-way benefit). Selection will not be based solely on entrance exam results - the interview is a crucial element of the process.
• The school selects candidates and recommends them to the Ferox Committee (see below) for final approval.
• Supporters of the scheme will be acknowledged within the House.

News on candidate selection

The school will be interviewing Foundationer candidates this November. Recommendations will then be made to the Ferox Hall Foundation Award committee.

It is possible there will be a suitable candidate for Ferox for September 2009, but more likely 2010. With more funding we could also look at candidates for 2011. The ultimate aim is to support a Foundationer in each year of the House.

A Foundationer - an example

Hillside started fundraising for their Foundation Award scheme two years before Ferox. They have now selected their first Foundationer.
