Sixth Form Scholarships

Scholarships allow the most able and talented students to enjoy the benefits of Cardiff Sixth Form College’s unique educational environment regardless of their economic situation.

We offer a limited number of merit-based sixth form scholarships each year to exceptional students who will thrive in our academic environment and contribute fully to college life.

Who Can Apply

Sixth form scholarships are open to both day and international students joining us for A levels. International students take scholarship assessments in the four subjects they would like to study at A level. Local day students take one subject and are expected to have a very high number of grade 8 and 9 results at GCSE, with all applicants also taking an online assessment and having an interview.

What’s on Offer

International students: up to 50% off tuition fees, with boarding paid in full.
Day students: up to 100% off tuition fees, with partial awards also available.
Fully funded A level scholarships for UK day students at our Cambridge campus.

Scholarship awards cover tuition fees only.

How to Apply

Register for a scholarship using the form on this page, and apply early, as only a limited number are awarded each year. International students must apply for a scholarship at the registration stage, once the main application has been submitted, as scholarships cannot be applied for after entrance examinations have been taken. Applicants then sit scholarship examinations and attend an interview. All awards are made at the discretion of the Principal.

APPLY FOR SCHOLARSHIP

International students

International students applying for a scholarship must do so at registration stage once the main application has been submitted. Please note scholarships cannot be applied for after examinations have been taken. These are of a very high standard and we only offer a few scholarships every year which are worth up to 50% off tuition fees dependent on results. Please note there is no scholarship on the boarding element of the fees. Scholarships are awarded on the results of four scholarship exams in the subjects the candidate wants to take for A Level, interview, online reasoning test and school reports.

Day students

Day students can apply for a scholarship worth up to 100% of tuition fees. Scholarships are awarded based on academic performance, results in the GCSE, and higher tier entrance exams, online reasoning test results, interview, application letter, and previous school reports. **Eligible students typically achieve 9 A* (grades 8/9) in academic GCSE subjects**, including those they will be taking for A Level, and English Language. Students with more than 6/7 A* (grades 8/9) will be considered as possible candidates for entry to the College, but may not be eligible for any scholarship award. Please submit a scholarship form in addition to a main application to be considered.

Please note there are no scholarships available for GCSE students.

All awards are made at the discretion of the Principal whose decision is considered to be final. Winning a scholarship is a responsibility and scholars are expected to positively input and demonstrate excellent behaviour throughout their time with us.
