Scholarships

Academic

The CCOBA Scholarship Fund was established in 1922 to provide financial assistance to parents for the academic fees of their sons.

In awarding scholarships, the following points will be taken into consideration:

• The character of applicants and their potential to make a positive contribution to the school.
• The academic proficiency of applicants.
• The financial position of the applicant’s parents.
• Scholarships may be awarded to a boy who has been granted admission to the school, or to a boy who is already attending the school and whose parents need financial assistance so that his schooling may be completed.
• All applicants will be considered, although preference will be given to sons of Old Boys.

Applications need to be made for each academic year for which financial assistance is sought, and should be made in writing by 30 September.

Music

The Robert Field-Dodgson Memorial Fund was established in 2002 to commemorate the life of one of the school’s finest music teachers, Robert Field-Dodgson, who taught at College from 1952 to 1985. The purpose of this musical scholarship is to encourage boys with abilities and interest in music. It is awarded annually on the recommendation of the school’s Music Director.

CCOBA Scholarship Fund

The fund has a portfolio of investments that generates the income to provide scholarships for successful applicants. The objective is to increase the number of scholarships awarded each year. Contributions to the fund from Old Boys are therefore always welcome.
