They are awarded on the basis of merit and achievement in specific areas, as established by Albert College or the donor. The scholarship exams are written in late February at Albert College, or under supervision in a student's home town. Please contact the Admissions Office for more information. Achievement awards for science, leadership and music are based on letters of reference, a resum , the admissions interview, the scholarship test and previous school reports. Scholarship winners are also eligible for bursary assistance, if the amount of the scholarship is insufficient to enable them to attend the school.
All awards are taxable to the student.
Donations are made to the Annual Fund by alumni, individuals and foundations who support the Albert philosophy and wish to provide the opportunity for talented and deserving students to attend the school. Bursaries are awarded by the school and carry no obligation of repayment, although it is hoped that beneficiaries will, in the future, become donors to the Annual Fund. Some bursaries carry a citation recognizing the various individual attributes which will contribute to a well-rounded student population. Bursaries are renewable each year, provided the recipient maintains good academic and social standing. All bursaries are taxable to the student.
