Scholarships

From UK Independent Schools

Many schools offer scholarships for children who show potential for high achievement in academic studies or in music or art. These are normally awarded on the basis of performance in an exam or audition. Scholarships normally only cover 10-25% of the fees, although in some cases this may be supplemented by a means-tested bursary.

Bursaries, which are means-tested, may also be available to cover part of the fee for pupils whose parents could not otherwise afford the full cost. They are awarded at the discretion of the school, which may set specific criteria. Schools may also reserve awards for children in specific categories, for example, if parents are in the Armed Forces or in the teaching profession.
