Ruthin School Scholarship

Ruthin School Scholarship:

Ruthin School (www.ruthinschool.co.uk) is offering seven students from anywhere in the world a 2-year A-Level Scholarship for 2009/10. Each scholarship, worth £40,000, includes full boarding, tuition and transport to and from Manchester airport. They also include accommodation and supervision in the Half Term and Easter holidays. The parents of the successful applicants would need to be able to pay for flights from UK to their home country (two return flights per year, as the students would return home for Christmas and Summer holidays). They would also need to pay a £1,000 deposit, which would be refunded when their child leaves the school.
Eligibility
Applicants must be children that are of school age by 1 September this year (i.e. 18 or less). Whilst students less than 16 are eligible, potential applicants should be aware that the scholarships are for A-levels. Students in the UK are usually 16 or 17 on 1 September in the year they begin their A-levels. Students younger than this may still apply.
Applicants will need to take an exam at the British Council on 18 April 2009.
The exams are in English. So a high standard of written English will be important.
Application Procedure
Application form available at the admission office c/o Sir Jojo. Submit the completed application form along with all required attachments on or before 13 April, Monday, 4:00 pm. Incomplete or late applications will not be accepted. The deadline will be strictly followed. Eligible applicants will be called to the British Council to take the qualifying exam on 18 April.
