The goal of the Scholarship Programme is to support exceptionally talented students and challenge them to excel at the school and beyond.

Scholarships may be awarded to those demonstrating Academic or Musical excellence.

Wycombe Abbey School Changzhou Scholarship Scheme

A Scholarship may be awarded to a limited number of new pupils who are offered a place at the school. The Scholarship is for those who show exceptional academic or musical talent. Most Academic Scholarships are awarded after a pupil has completed at least one year of their education. Pupils will have displayed excellent academic achievement in all their subjects. Academic Scholarships may be offered when a pupil has achieved an exceptionally high grade in their entry assessments (English and Mathematics). In these cases a pupil will be invited to sit an additional General Paper, together with a rigorous academic interview, and the family will be advised of the outcome with one week. Music Scholarships are awarded to pupils who satisfy three key criteria: excellent technical skills, empathy and passion, thorough musical knowledge (history and genre). Music scholars must also meet the school’s usual academic requirements for entry.

Scholarships lasts for a maximum of 3 years considering their entry year level and school level and represents a tuition fee reduction based on published school fees for each academic year during this period. Pupils graduating from one school level to the next will have to re-apply.
