Each year, the school offers up to 10 scholarships and awards at each entry level. Scholarships can be honorary or carry a financial reward, covering 5%-10% of the annual fees. Scholarships can be augmented by a means tested bursary.
For Year 7 entry, your child can apply for Academic Scholarships, Performing Arts Scholarships (Music Specialism, Drama Specialism, Dance Specialism or a Combination) and Sport Scholarships.
Means Tested Bursaries are awarded if parents can demonstrate, through a means testing process, that they would not otherwise be able to send their child to LWC due to financial limitations.
Bursaries cover 10% 50% of the school fees (dependent on family circumstances) and are generally linked to scholarships. In exceptional circumstances, the award may be given to candidates who do not quite meet specific scholarship criteria.To make a bursary application, contact the Admissions Office.
