Scholarships

Kingsmead College is a Christian school for girls, which embodies a distinctive ethos where the individual matters first and foremost and where each student is nurtured to contribute to the Republic of South Africa in all its diversity. As a country, our racially divisive past results in skewed racial patterns within the broader College community. As a school in the South African context, we recognise the need to reconcile and harmonise constitutional imperatives of dignity and equality with the aims and objectives to promote gender equality and inclusivity.

We are continually evaluating the purpose and impact of our programmes. In 2019, we adjusted our scholarship criteria, which had previously only been given for excellence, with a move to fellowships to enable the College to identify more students with potential. We took the decision to shift this funding again (except for two scholarships) towards bursaries from 2022.

We will award two scholarships in 2027 to one internal and one external candidate who shows potential or talent in academics and will contribute to the life of the College in various ways, be that sport, the arts, or leadership.

Applications for these scholarships are now open.
Please note these are for entry to Kingsmead College for Grade 8 2027.

Please note that you will also need to submit an admission form to accompany your scholarship application. We will be unable to consider applications without the admission form.

Scholarship applications will close on 27 February 2026, and the two recipients will be announced on 27 March 2026. Please note that no late entries will be considered.
