Scholarships and Bursaries
In the classroom and the art studio, on the stage and on the playing field, out in the community and across the globe, ECS students exhibit outstanding intellect, creativity, generosity, and leadership. Our Scholarship Programme celebrates the excellence, passion, and drive of our students. Rooted in our mission to “value and steward each girl’s distinct journey”, we empower each student to explore the areas that spark her interest, challenge her to take ownership of her learning, and give her the freedom to be the architect of her own life.
