Kelvinside Academy

Bursaries

The KA Foundation provides bursary funds on an annual basis for pupils of potential new to the Senior School who are unable to afford full fees. Such pupils would undergo the normal admissions procedure but, in addition, parents/guardians would be required to complete a Bursary Application Form* providing details of their financial position.

The Foundation also provides bursaries for pupils already in the Senior School whose personal financial circumstances have changed. The number and amount of bursaries awarded annually will vary according to the availability of funds. However, the School is committed to growing the capital fund from which the bursaries are derived.

Additionally the Warden Bursary Fund exists to help pupils, who have completed at least one year in Senior School, whose financial circumstances have changed. The Bursary, in particular will support cases where a pupil’s future would be significantly jeopardised if he or she was forced suddenly to leave Kelvinside Academy.

All bursaries are reviewed annually and assume the continuing hard work and commitment of the recipient, and the maintenance of the parental contribution. Bursary awards can be provided as a contribution to the fees of one child only per family.

*Please contact the Bursar for more information.

Scholarships

Financial support with fees is targeted where there is genuine need. However, Kelvinside Academy would still wish to recognise scholars, pupils of high ability, as they enter Senior School from outwith or from the Senior Prep (P7) class. To that end, all those sitting the entrance test and all those in Senior Prep who wish to sit the scholarship examination will be considered as potential scholars. Those who are so selected will be presented with a Scholar's Medal and a monetary prize.

The Miller Drummond Music Scholarship

Up to two Music Scholarships are awarded each year to pupils entering S5 or S6 from within or outwith the School. Specific eligibility criteria apply (details available on request) and these must continue to be met for the duration of the Scholarship.
