Frequently Asked Questions
Since scholarships are based on merit, your application should be as detailed—albeit concise—as possible about your achievements in the relevant field. Those achievements should be notable. For example, if you apply for a Sporting Scholarship, you must show that you have belonged—or still belong—to a sporting organisation.
To maximise your chances of retaining a scholarship, you should maintain a strong academic record (as according to the criteria for each scholarship) and participation in the relevant field, preferably both on and off campus.
Scholarship and bursary allocations are made two times per year. Please refer to the application deadline on this webpage.
Scholarships are awarded for the duration of your full-time studies, unless specified otherwise. At the end of each year, recipients must submit a Scholarship Re-Appraisal Form. This will required a student to outline what they have achieved in the are relevant to their scholarship (i.e. media, leadership, sport, etc.) and what they aim to achieve in the subsequent year. They must demonstrate, though this re-appraisal process, that they have met all the criteria for the scholarship to continue, including academic results.
Bursaries are granted based on a student’s financial need only, which is why applicants are required to provide as much information as possible about their finances and their needs.
Scholarships are awarded on the basis of past achievements in the relevant field (e.g. Sporting, Music, Leadership) and on the understanding that a student will continue to pursue their interests in that field during their enrolment at Campion College.
Only one scholarship can be awarded per person at any one time.
Students on scholarships who experience financial stress, may also apply for financial aid (bursary). Students already receiving a bursary may apply for an increase to the amount awarded if they demonstrate that they are experiencing a change in circumstances which is adding to their financial need.
Yes. In fact, it is a good idea to apply for both. If you are not granted a scholarship, you may still be eligible for financial aid in the form of a bursary.
How to Apply
If you apply for more than one scholarship, you must submit a complete set of documentation for each scholarship.
The documents required for each scholarship application are:
- Written statement – one page outlining why you believe you should receive the scholarship
- Written references
- Awards, certificates and commendations (as appropriate)
A student number is required to apply so you must be enrolled before completing the application form.
