Exhibition (scholarship)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] United Kingdom & Ireland

At the universities of Dublin, Oxford and Cambridge, and at Westminster School and Winchester College, and various other UK educational establishments, an exhibition is a financial award or grant to an individual student, normally on grounds of merit. The amount is less than a scholarship. An exhibitioner (cf. scholar) is a student who has been awarded an exhibition.

[edit] Australia

In Australia, an exhibition is awarded to the highest mark-getter in a given subject among all matriculating students (i.e. those graduating from high school) in each state in a given school year.
