Scholarships and Awards at Malvern St James
Scholarships and Awards
At Malvern St James, Scholarships acknowledge exceptional individual ability and talent in a particular area. They are competitive and are highly valued by universities and future employers. Exhibitions may also be awarded to recognise impressive ability and potential.
A wealth of enrichment and extension activities are available to all girls at MSJ including lectures from inspirational speakers, Somerville Suppers and debates, leadership opportunities and an excellent university preparation programme. In addition to this Scholars are offered a range of bespoke opportunities with considerable value, including mentoring, masterclasses, trips, workshops and regular specialist meetings.
Malvern St James Scholars are expected to make a significant contribution to all areas of School life.
They are expected to participate in all events relating to their specialism and identify ways in which they can use their talents to contribute to the wider School community. They should demonstrate leadership and initiative and perform at a very high standard in their specialist area, showing exemplary commitment and dedication.
Applicants should have considerable potential; ideally, they will already be achieving the best possible marks in their respective fields, whether academic or practical. In addition, applicants should be outstanding role models for other girls.
Senior School Scholarships carry a fee remission of up to 10% for Scholarships and 5% for Exhibitions. The final award will be considered alongside any other bursaries and remissions, the combined total of which will not exceed 40% of fees. Sixth Form Scholarships may carry a fee remission subject to means testing.
All Scholarships are awarded for as long as the student remains at the School, provided that their progress, conduct and commitment are excellent, subject to annual review. Applicants can apply for a maximum of two scholarships at each entry point and the maximum number of scholarships that can be held at any one time is two.

In addition to our Scholarships, there is our means-tested bursary programme which includes the Founders’ Awards, Lynne Lindner Award and Elmslie Award. These have a separate process and timeline, and additional information is available on their individual pages.
Further information about scholarship fee remission and bursaries can be found on our Fees and Bursaries page.
