They should also demonstrate an exemplary attitude to learning, complete all work on time and meet the attendance requirements of the College.

A scholarship may be withdrawn if any of the following occur:

• if the student’s attendance level  is not in line with college policy.
• if the student is deemed  not to be reaching their potential in progress assessments or formal examinations.
• if the student’s behaviour falls below the standard expected by the College and/or is cause of concern for the safety of their peers,  teachers, staff or the student them self.

Scholarships will be offered on the assumption that David Game College will be able to meet the reasonable needs of the applicant while they study at the College. If after awarding a scholarship we are not able to meet the needs of the student then alterations to the course may be necessary which may incur additional fees not encompassed in the scholarship offer.

The successful applicants who are awarded a scholarship should be discreet and should not disclose that they have received a scholarship to their peers.
