Build-Your-Own (BYO) Scholarship
We are looking for curious, talented young women with demonstrated interests and abilities in any field to share their passion with the Queenwood community. The BYO Scholarship seeks to identify uniquely gifted and talented students who may otherwise go unrecognised. Specifically aimed at unconventional high potential students, the BYO Scholarship is for candidates with exceptional talent in a demonstrated skill. The goal is to uncover the full breadth of a student’s capabilities and capacity to contribute dynamically to the life of the School. While an academic scholarship is aimed at all round achievers, the BYO scholarship targets students who have highly developed skills in one particular academic area. Previous recipients have included writers, engineers, chess players and orators.
The award may include fees remission, proportional to the strength of the application, and additional support such as mentorships, attendance at courses or workshops outside of school, working in small groups with like-minded students, specialised tuition, access to school facilities and assistance with equipment or travel.
