ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE SCHOLARSHIPS

Application Date:            by Friday 2^nd June, 2017

Assessment Date:            Saturday 17^th June, 2017

THE BVIS Learner Profile

Our School Aide Memoire outlines 6 key elements that makes up a good student.

We wish our students to be distinguished by, and for, the following intellectual qualities:

The assessment and interview processes at BVIS are devised so that candidates for Scholarships are able to show the qualities that are listed in this profile. All candidates will be interviewed and be required to make a presentation to members of the Scholarship Committee. Candidates may also sit for academic testing requirements for the candidate’s chosen International A Level subject areas (if necessary). We are looking for genuine intellectual flair and academic strength, together with sensitivity towards other people.

An academic scholar will be expected to contribute to the intellectual life of the school and to perform at an academic level that is commensurate with ability. International A Levels options should reflect high academic aspirations.

The number of academic scholarships available each year will depend on the number of applicants and the quality of academic scholarship displayed from those who present themselves during the assessment process. Academic awards offered are subject to the recipient satisfying the School’s 16+ rigorous academic entry requirements.

Candidates for admission to Year 12 in late August 2017 are requested to register and submit completed application forms in accordance with the dates cited above and be willing to attend assessment on the specified date.

If appropriate within their previous school, candidates who have taken IGCSE examinations and achieve only A* and A grades (from results issued in August of the year of application) may be eligible for a Scholarship awarded for excellence in international examinations, depending on the number and quality of applicants for these awards. 

ARTISTIC TALENT SCHOLARSHIPS

Application Date:             by Friday 2^nd June, 2017

Assessment Date:            Saturday 17^th June, 2017

This will also include an Assessment of candidate’s Art Portfolio

Candidates must register and have completed the relevant documentation by Friday 2^nd June, 2017. A specialist reference(s) from the head(s) of the relevant departments is also required.

Candidates for Art Scholarships will be required to demonstrate the following:

1. a high level of competence in a range of media that might include painting, drawing and photography, or even sculpture;
2. good knowledge of artistic techniques and artists as well as a solid grasp of the language of art including composition, line, tone and form;
3. evidence of self-motivated gallery and museum visits and how studying the work of different artists has informed and enriched their own work;
4. the ability to work independently; showing evidence of self-initiated projects alongside teacher-led ones;
5. genuine enthusiasm and passion displayed for the subject, that goes beyond the norm.

The Art Scholarship examination will consist of a portfolio inspection, a drawing assignment, which will take the form of a life class, and an interview with the Head of Art.

Art Scholars will be expected to play an active and positive leading role amongst Art students throughout their time at BVIS. They must also take the subject for one of their International A Level choices.

Art awards offered are subject to the recipient satisfying the School’s 16+ academic entry requirements. If appropriate within their previous school, candidates who have taken IGCSE examinations and achieve only A* and A grades (from results issued in August of the year of application) may be eligible for a Principal’s Scholarship, depending on the number and quality of applicants for these awards. 

EXTRAORDINARY ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS

In exceptional circumstances, where a candidate has shown proven ability and achievement at national or international level, a discretionary award may be applied for.

Applications should be submitted using the Application form as for Academic and Art Scholarship applications.  The same process of interview and presentation will apply.
