Truro School Sixth Form Diploma Scholarships are awarded from an application and selection process that includes a written application, review of a pupil’s school record, and an interview that will include a pupil presentation. This is a rigorous process designed to identify the pupils most likely to enrich our Sixth Form community through their diversity of knowledge, skills and interests, co-curricular as well as academic, and their commitment to the opportunities provided by the Diploma.

We will actively seek to recognise diverse individual interests and talents. The fee remission associated with the Sixth Form Diploma Scholarship is likely to be between 5% and 10% and will apply for the duration of Sixth Form life unless the pupil’s engagement with Sixth Form life ceases to be positive and constructive for the school community.

Diploma Scholarships may be applied for by any pupil in Year 11 at Truro School, or any Year 11 from outside the School seeking to apply to join Truro School for Sixth Form, whether they have existing scholarship or bursary awards or not. Diploma Scholars are expected to be academically strong, but selection will not be exclusively academic. The selection process will reflect the candidate’s potential to contribute to and enrich our Sixth Form community in line with the philosophy and values associated with the Truro School Diploma and of the School. We will actively seek to recognise and reward diverse individual interests, talents, and skills. This will be a prestigious award and will have a small fee reduction associated with it that will apply across the pupil’s time in the Sixth Form unless their engagement with Sixth Form life ceases to be positive and constructive for the School community.
