Auckland Boys Grammar

Michelle Abbasi —

Auckland Boys Grammar have 3 special boarding scholarships to Auckland Grammar School for 2021 that may be of interest to Year 8 boys.

The Cooper-Connell Scholarship

The Cooper-Connell Scholarship for 2021 was established in memory of Sir Henry Cooper, who came to Grammar from Waiuku on a scholarship and went on to become one of the School’s greatest headmasters. This boarding scholarship covers half of the annual boarding fees and is designed for exceptional young men with: “The potential to achieve excellence in academic endeavours, allied with participation in sporting and cultural activities.”

Sports Scholarship

The School offers sports scholarships to outstanding Year 8 candidates who will fit the special and unique culture and character of Auckland Grammar School. We welcome candidates from any sport but every candidate, along with their application, must provide video footage of their performance in their chosen sport(s) along with any written references from coaches and/or administers.

The Sir John Buchanan Scholarship

We are very fortunate to be able to offer the Sir John Buchanan Scholarship in 2021 to an outstanding student from the South Auckland region. Generously established by Grammar Old Boy Sir John Buchanan, in recognition of the role that the School played in his development during his secondary school years this boarding scholarship is designed to give young men who live out of zone the opportunity to attend one of the country’s leading secondary schools. The successful applicant will preferably live in the South Auckland region where Sir John himself grew up, and will be an outstanding student, a role model and future potential leader. He will be eligible for a full five-year boarding scholarship to the School’s boarding house, Tibbs House, worth up to $15,000 per annum.

If you are interested in more information please see the Boarding page of Auckland Grammars school website where you can find the application form. Applications by letter are due by Tuesday 28 April 2020.
