Scholarships
Applications for Academic, Boarding, School of Performing Arts and Music Scholarships for 2011 are now open.
A brief history of the Scholarships
The earliest scholarship to be created was The Lady Franklin Scholarship, established in 1840 by way of a gift to the School of some fifty acres of land at Franklin, and a cash gift of £150. Since that time many other scholarships have been awarded. New scholarships are created from time to time, and are named to honour a past student, member of staff or a member of the donor's family. Some scholarships are awarded annually and others on a rotating basis.
Academic and Boarding Scholarships
Academic and boarding scholarship tests are conducted by Robert Allwell and Associates, an independent assessor. All candidates must sit this scholarship test and some students will be invited to attend a subsequent formal interview.
Examinations for 2011 entry will be held at Hutchins on Saturday 1 May 2010. Interstate and overseas candidates can arrange to sit the examination at a different location.
Academic scholarships are offered for entry at Year 6, Year 7 and at Year 11. Scholarships offer rebates on tuition fees only of up to 50%. Scholarships are granted for the duration of the recipient's secondary education and are subject to the maintenance of excellent academic performance levels as well as contributing to the life of the School. Students may hold only one scholarship at any one time.
A student who holds a scholarship from a previous entry is eligible to sit for a higher value scholarship when he reaches the appropriate year. If he is then awarded the higher value scholarship he forfeits the previous one.
A boarding scholarship normally is offered to a Year 7 student but may, in an exceptional case, be offered to a student at another year level.
The Headmaster may at his discretion, award Hutchins Scholarships to particularly able students who are unsuccessful in being awarded a named scholarship. Students who sit the scholarship tests but are unsuccessful and who would like to attend Hutchins may be eligible for a bursary. A limited number of bursaries may be available and are awarded on the basis of financial need. Bursaries are tenable for the time a student attends Hutchins and are subject to annual review. Successful bursary holders are to give of their best to the life of the School.
Applications close on Friday 23 April 2010.
