Scholarship Awards
Desmond Davis & War Memorial Scholarship
In March 1919, Mr H J Hofmeyr, Chairman of the Governing Body, and Mr Desmond Davis, the Headmaster, proposed that a memorial be erected to those Old Edwardians who had been killed on active service during World War One. A magnificent response to the appeal for funds made it possible to erect the War Memorial in the School quadrangle, and left enough in the fund to finance a War Memorial Scholarship. After the death of Desmond Davis in 1960, funds contributed by Old Edwardians in his memory were added to the trust fund of the War Memorial Scholarship. From this fund is made the annual award now known as the Desmond Davis and War Memorial Scholarship.
This is the Premier Award of the School. It is awarded to a learner with academic colours who has made a significant contribution to many facets of the life of the School. The recipient of the 2019 Desmond Davis and War Memorial Scholarship is Crispin McKenzie.
HJ Hofmeyr Scholarship
Mr H J Hofmeyr served on the School’s Governing Body from 1907 and was its Chairman for twenty five successive years. Upon his death in 1937, money was left in trust for the creation of a fund which now finances scholarships and bursaries.
The H J Hofmeyr Scholarships is awarded on the same criteria as the Desmond Davis and War Memorial Scholarship. This is awarded at the discretion of the Trustees. The recipient of the H J Hofmeyr Scholarship for 2019 is Mohammed Rawat.
Hugh Wilson Scholarships
The award goes to a Grade 12 learner who has contributed to the School in many areas, i.e. Academic, Sport, Cultural and Service. Contribution to the Dramatic Society is given consideration. The recipients of the 2019 Hugh Wilson Scholarship are Callum Beukes and Seth Thorne.
