About Sidcot Scholarships
Sidcot Scholarships are not just about celebrating and nurturing excellence – they’re about sharing it too. Our Scholars engage in tailored enrichment activities and receive extra support in their awarded subject. With guidance from expert staff, students are encouraged to challenge themselves and to achieve their very best. As ambassadors of Sidcot, Scholars share their enthusiasm and inspire others to take an active interest in their subject.

Successful applicants receive a 10% reduction in tuition fees.
