Academic awards

We believe that every student deserves the opportunity to excel, regardless of their financial circumstances. St George’s all-girls school in Edinburgh is committed to helping students reach their full potential and supporting families in their educational journey.

The school offers a small number of academic awards. 

The school has no major endowments, but it is as generous as its funds will allow in offering academic awards and bursaries to those who cannot afford the full fee.

How do our academic awards work?

Academic awards are competitive and are a one-off award on joining the school. Because we want to ensure that financial assistance assists the greatest number of families who require support, there is only a small financial concession with an award. However, parents can apply for means-tested assistance to the value of 100% of the fees alongside an award. 

Academic Awards are available to candidates applying to enter the school at S1 and S2. They are awarded as a result of a competitive selection process to candidates who perform especially well in their Entrance Assessments. 

Level of Award 

S1 -  two awards of £250
S2 -  two awards of £250

These awards are generously funded by St George's Old Girls' Association.
