Ongoing Conditions

Academic Scholarship recipients must:

  • maintain strong academic performance
  • contribute positively to the School community
  • Demonstrate appropriate conduct and attitude
  • Comply with all School rules and ensure fees are paid on time.

Progress and contribution to School life is reviewed annually. A Scholarship may be withdrawn if the  Principal is not satisfied with the diligence or conduct of the recipient. Failure to pay fees may also lead to withdrawal.

All applicants must submit an online Scholarship application made directly to The King David School as well as an application directly to Edutest. 

Once the Admissions Department has received your application, external applicants will be invited to attend an interview with our Principal, Marc Light.
