- Write an Application Letter
- Take an Admission Test (English, Mathematics and Science)
- Attend an interview (shortlisted candidates only)
- Presentation (shortlisted candidates only)

What Information Should I Provide?
You will need to provide your own personal contact details together with the personal details and requested information for the student(s) applying for scholarship in the Scholarship Application Form [Apply Here]
How Is Eligibility for Scholarship Maintained?
Maintaining a scholarship is by:
- Continuous high academic performance throughout the year
- Engaging fully in the life of the school
- Modeling and promoting the school’s values
Should a scholar fall below the expected standards at any time, in the first instance counselling and support will be provided. Should there subsequently be a further decline in standards, then parents, the scholar and the School Principal shall meet to agree strategies for success and set remedial objectives. Should these objectives not be met, the scholarship may be revoked.
What If There Are Special Considerations for a Student?

- Provide your written submission in a letter marked “Confidential” and addressed to “The Scholarship Committee” at admissions@merittonbritish.com
- Place a heading of “Special Consideration for Scholarship Applicant” on your letter and please include the name of the applicant
