Arrival from 10am
Every young person has their own strengths.
For some, it is academic excellence. For others, it is leadership, creativity, resilience or sporting ability.
At Merchiston, our scholarships recognise exceptional talent and potential, alongside the character, commitment and contribution that enrich our School community.
Scholarship Day on 24 November is an opportunity for boys applying for 13+ and 16+ entry to demonstrate their strengths and discover where their talents could take them at Merchiston.
