At Wellington international school, it is firmly believed that every child should be provided with world-class opportunities not only in academics but also in a range of non-academic and extracurricular programs.

2020 Scholarship Programme Now Open for Application at Wellington International School

To recognise and reward the pursuit and achievement of excellence in pupils, and to make a Wellington education accessible to a broader range of pupils throughout Hangzhou and surrounding regions, a range of scholarships and awards now are offered by this Wellington International School. Whether through tuition reduction or providing additional opportunities to demonstrate talent and leadership within the community; scholarships and awards provide a unique opportunity for talented pupils. In addition, scholarships and awards may be further complemented by a means-tested bursary.

Below details of scholarships and awards on offer for the 2020-2021 academic year will be introduced.

Academic Scholarship Programme

Wellington international school is proud to introduce the Academic Scholarship Programme for pupils who will enter in the academic year starting August 2020. The programme recognises outstanding academic achievement and all-round excellence.

Awards criteria

Awards of up to 50%* of the annual tuition fees will be offered to applicants who can demonstrate a consistent and proven track record of excellent academic performance.

Applicants should also have:

  • Leadership potential
  • An exemplary behavioural record including unfailing kindness to their peers
  • An ability to act as a mentor and role model

Those pupils awarded a scholarship will be expected to fully engage with every aspect of school life and the Wellington community, including participation in sports teams and performing arts activities.

Awards of up to 100%* of the tuition fees will be available to successful applicants in Year 7 or above in August 2020. Applicants will be expected to have recorded previous academic results and CAT4 assessment data (administered as a part of the admissions process) that indicate they will achieve strong IGCSE results.

*By offering the Academic Scholarship Programme, the senior team of Wellington international school wishes to give an opportunity of a Wellington education to outstanding pupils whose families would not be able to afford our full fees. The value of the award will be based upon the annual net income of the applicant’s family.

How to apply

Applicants must submit a handwritten personal statement on one A4 page outlining why they believe they would make a good Wellington scholar. Scanned copies of the personal statement should be submitted to the Admissions Office by email to [email protected]. Successful candidates will be invited to a scholarship assessment day which will be held at the school shortly after submission.

Sports Award and Music Scholarships

Scholarships for Sports and Music are awarded to those pupils who will play a significant role at Wellington international school. Pupils must show a high degree of ability in their chosen field whilst also demonstrating leadership in the encouragement of non-prize holding pupils. Prizes provide free specialist tuition or coaching and other benefits for pupils. In addition, prizes may be complemented by a bursary based on a means test.

Terms & Conditions

Scholarships and prizes will only be awarded if candidates of sufficient merit present themselves.

Awards and prizes will be reviewed annually. Retention of an award will be dependent upon consistently excellent performance levels, good conduct and evidence of real contribution to the life of the college.

Bursaries

The scholarships aim to attract the best pupils at Wellington international school. Bursaries are available to families applying for Year 1 and above and awarded where there is an obvious need to supplement the tuition fees and are also open to include those pupils who apply for various scholarships. All applications are means-tested. Applying for a Bursary need not be a daunting process but does follow rigorous and objective means-testing.
