2020vision Merchants Connected ArchivesHarrison Scholarships
The Harrison Scholarship is the School's most prestigious academic award, and is granted to students who meet the demanding GCSE A* tariff set. This tariff is reviewed annually by the Headmaster, but is intended to ensure that awards are reserved for an elite group of high achievers. Indeed, Harrison Scholars have demonstrated outstanding commitment to their studies and very impressive public examination results for generations.
The award of Harrison Scholarship carries with it a modest financial incentive in the form of fee remission but, more significantly, entitles the holder to be presented with the award on Speech Day and earns him a permanent place on the academic honours board housed in the historic Main School building.
Those finishing their Upper Sixth year can also gain an Honorary Harrison Scholarship should they meet the A Level criteria determined by the Headmaster and they have not already been awarded a Harrison Scholarship at the end of their GCSE studies.
For further information on the Harrison Scholarship please contact Mr R A Simpson (r.simpson@merchanttaylors.com), Deputy Headmaster Academic.
