Want to Win a Dulwich Scholarship? Read This First!
The Dulwich College Shanghai Puxi Scholarship for 2026/27 is now open！
This scholarship is open to students entering Years 4-12 in the 2026/27 academic year. We welcome applications from students who demonstrate excellence, whether through outstanding academic achievement or exceptional talent in other areas. Applicants should also show a positive contribution to their communities. Students must meet the standard international school admission requirements.
But how do you actually stand out？
Parents often ask...
Is my child the right fit?
What does the panel really look for?
How competitive is it?
What should go into a personal statement?
How are Junior School children assessed?
So instead of guessing, we went straight to the experts - the two leaders who sit at the heart of our selection process:
Jennifer Buster
Deputy Head Academic, Senior School
"What really sets candidates apart is their personal story and authenticity - the spark that shows who they are beyond the grades. We’re drawn to students who can reflect thoughtfully on their journey, articulate what motivates them, and demonstrate resilience and initiative."
Elizabeth Ennis
Deputy Head, Junior School
"We are looking for applications from students who demonstrate potential beyond traditional academic measures—those with curiosity, resilience, and a genuine love of learning. Our primary students are not just passive recipients of information, but active participants in their own learning journey."
Ms Buster will share exactly what makes an application stand out, while Mrs Ennis will address the key questions for families considering Junior School scholarships.
