Foundation Scholarship

Students in their Senior Fresh year are eligible to take the Foundation Scholarship examinations. In exceptional circumstances students may defer them to the following year.

Many Schools and Disciplines hold meetings to inform prospective candidates about the examinations.

Scholars are also an excellent source of encouragement and advice – and hold an information night each year. They have also produced a video which you can view at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0RweAxp6vs.

Please consult your course handbook and the College Calendar for further details.
