Scholarships

Academic Scholarships at Wellington

We are an academically selective school, and all applicants will be assessed and interviewed prior to being offered a place. Academic Scholarships are offered to a small number of students for Years 9 and Year 11 only, although we are always very interested to hear about all student’s achievements and aspirations, and we look at every applicant’s potential. If you believe that your child is exceptional, then please mention this during the standard application process for a place.

Scholarships are awarded in recognition and support of outstanding ability, potential, and attainment in academic and other co-curricular areas. Successful Scholars will benefit from a superb programme of bespoke scholars’ tutorials and workshops including personal development, public speaking, academic enrichment and additional specialist coaching.

The senior school scholarship selection process usually takes place in Lent Term each academic year. We have an extensive testing and assessment process and if you are interested in this process, we will ask you to consider:

Your education to date – which schools have you attended and where?
What have you excelled in?
What have you done so far to develop your interests and passions?
Why are you interested in a Scholarship?
What is unique about you?
What can you bring to Wellington and what do you hope to gain from this?
Any other factors that you think relevant.

Sixth Form Scholarships

Our Sixth Form opened to its first cohort in August 2024 and those students have access to incredible learning environments, passionate, highly experienced teachers and the resources and support of the Wellington network of schools.

If you are considering an Academic Scholarship in the future please consider:

Your education to date – which schools have you attended and where?
What have you excelled in?
What have you done so far to develop your interests and passions?
Why are you interested in a scholarship?
What is unique about you?

Any other factors that you think relevant.

All students who join Year 12 in Michaelmas Term 2025/26 will be eligible for a THB 1 million bursary which is used to offset fees across Year 12 and Year 13.

Sport Scholarships

We offer a small number of Sports Scholarships– normally in Golf, Swimming or Tennis. These are available in Senior School only.

If you are exceptional in any sporting field, please mention this in your application for a place. The process will involve an assessment by our Head of Swimming, Head of Golf or Director of Sports as well as our normal testing process. We will ask to see your recent achievements and your position and status in key tournaments and competitions. Our Sports Scholars are a very important part of our community, and they contribute in all areas – not just in Sport.

We are almost full in all disciplines, but we are always happy to meet and talk to you. Please complete the application form and add a note explaining which sport your child excels in. We will contact you to learn more before progressing the application.

Music Scholarships

Music Scholarships

Wellington College Bangkok is proud to have a small number of exceptional musicians who are our Music Scholars. If you are a passionate and talented musician, then do get in touch. Our Director of Music will assess you and look at your achievements in performance, theory, and composition.

We ask that along with your application for a place, you prepare your certificates of achievement with official bodies such as ABRSM and detail your performances, recordings, contributions. We have a very high amount of interest and exceptionally high standards so please understand that we will expect ABRSM Grade 8 (or equivalent) as a minimum for any assessment in your main instrument plus Grade 5 in Music Theory and any other supporting instruments. Tell us why you should be a Wellington Music Scholar.

Once we receive your scholarship application in any field, we will assess the application and contact you to arrange a tour, testing and an interview with our Head of Senior School and other relevant members of our teams.
