All-Round Excellence Bursaries

Thanks to the generosity of the OVA and other College benefactors, a number of bursaries are available to boys who have displayed all-round excellence during their time at the College. These bursaries incorporate areas such as academic studies, leadership, music, the arts, outdoor education, service, and cocurricular activities.
