Terms and Conditions of a Scholarship or Award
1. Financial specifications for a scholarship or award
Scholarships and Awards are awarded as a fixed grant, which is credited against the basic fees
of the pupil. Pupils in receipt of a Tettenhall College bursary, those entitled to MOD Continuity
of Education Allowance (CEA) or any other discount, may be awarded an Honorary award which
confers scholar’s privileges but has no financial value. Applicants may apply for more than
one scholarship but in the event of an applicant being awarded multiple scholarships, only one
will be monetary. The remainder will be honorary and carry no financial value.
2. Obligations of the pupil
Pupils in receipt of scholarships are required to contribute significantly to the subject areas
under which they were granted their awards. They are also required to work hard, to
contribute positively to the life of the school, to set a good example to other pupils and in
general to be a credit to Tettenhall College.
3. Obligations of the parents
Parents of scholars are expected to support and encourage their children to strive in their
areas of interest and to uphold the aims and the good name of Tettenhall College. Parents of
scholars are expected to pay the balance of their children’s school accounts by the first day of
term.
4. Withdrawal of the Award.
Scholarships may be withdrawn by written notice to parents if, in the opinion of the
Headmaster acting in good faith, pupils or parents have not complied with the obligations set
out at paragraphs 2 and 3 above. Prior to the withdrawal of scholarships the Headmaster will
warn pupils and parents of his intent and will give such pupils or parents one half of a term to
rectify the situation. Withdrawal of awards shall take effect from the start of the following
term. Awards may be withdrawn by written notice if accounts remain unpaid 28 days after a
written reminder has been set to parents.
5. Fees in lieu of notice
The benefits payable under a scholarship do not apply to any term for which the School has
required payment of fees in lieu of notice.
