The Folotiya Memorial Scholarships were introduced in 1997 in honour of the founders of our school, the late Mr. and Mrs. Mwansa and Lydia Folotiya.
The aim of the Scholarships is to encourage and reward academic excellence. For over two decades, many of our scholarship recipients have gone on to set the pace at institutions of higher learning around the world.
The Scholarships are awarded to the qualifying candidates attaining the highest marks in the Rhodes Park School Grade Eight Entrance Examination.
To be eligible for a Folotiya Memorial Scholarship, a candidate must be aged 13 and under at the time of writing the Grade Eight Entrance Examination.
The winners of these Scholarships receive complimentary tuition at Rhodes Park School from Grade Eight to Grade Twelve as follows:
1 Major Scholarship (male) 100% of tuition fees
1 Major Scholarship (female) 100% of tuition fees
The Major Scholarships are offered to pupils who have been at Rhodes Park School for a minimum of three consecutive years at the time of writing the Entrance Examination.
1 Minor Scholarship (male) 75% of tuition fees
1 Minor Scholarship (female) 75% of tuition fees
Minor Scholarships are offered to pupils from any school, and those who have been at Rhodes Park School less than three years at the time of writing the Entrance Examination.
In 2021, a special category of Minor Scholarships was introduced, which are reserved for learners at Woodford School Lusaka.
The examination for external candidates is sat in early November, usually on the Saturday morning following the end of the Grade Seven Composite examinations. Announcements are made in the media.
