The combined value of any two scholarships cannot exceed 10% of the day tuition fee. 

Occasionally the parent(s) of a pupil who has been selected for a scholarship is willing to surrender all or part of the emoluments for the benefit of another pupil who needs assistance. In such a case the student retains the title and privileges of a scholar.
