Frequently asked questions

What is a bursary?

A bursary is a means-tested reduction in fees, based on household income and assets rather than ability. Awards commonly run from 10% to 100% of fees and are reviewed each year.

When are bursary application deadlines?

Mostly between October and December for the following September. At many schools the bursary deadline comes before the registration deadline, and it is rarely extended.

What income qualifies for a bursary?

Each school sets its own limits. As a rough guide, support often starts to taper at £45,000 to £60,000 gross household income and stops at £100,000 to £120,000. Savings and property count too.

What documents does a bursary application need?

Usually P60s or tax returns for the last two or three years, recent payslips, bank and savings statements, and a mortgage or tenancy statement. Self-employed parents need business accounts.

When do bursary decisions arrive?

Usually with or shortly after the offer, in February or March, so you know the real cost before the acceptance deadline. Any home visit happens before then.
