The 11+ scholarships are worth £500 per year and run for five years; they require a pupil to demonstrate outstanding ability in at least two of the school’s three major sports, ongoing participation in co-curricular sport, and representation at school events. The 16+ scholarships are worth £3,000 per year per pupil for two years to support activities such as international travel, kit and coaching.
Applicants for the 16+ awards must be of academy, national or international standard in one of St Paul’s major sports-or show strong evidence of future outstanding potential.
