Bursaries and Academic Awards

Each year the College awards a significant number of Academic Awards and Bursaries with a range in value. Academic Awards (currently $5,000 remission of fees annually) are awarded each year automatically on the basis of excellent academic achievement, thus no application is necessary. Bursaries are awarded on the basis of financial need and applicants are required to demonstrate that, without a bursary, they would be unable to afford the fees. (Parents’ capacity to pay is the key determinant.) All bursaries are awarded for 12 months in the first instance and recipients must reapply each year for renewal, which is subject to good academic progress, satisfactory conduct and contribution to the life of the College.

Please note: Bursary applications may be sent either together with the admission application, or separately, but must be received before 12th November in the year preceding entry.
