Scholarship Programmes

Scholarships are an important way for the College to realise its mission of creating and maintaining an inclusive learning environment.

As part of the College’s vision, and in line with the mission, and ethos of Alexandra College, each year the College offers scholarships at a variety of entry points.

Our scholarships are awarded based on a variety of criteria ranging from family means to academic ability and passion for education; all candidates must sit the scholarship exam to be considered.

This year's Scholarship Exam for entry in August 2026 will take place on Saturday 15 November at 10 am. Further details about each scholarship, including registration, are available below.
