Eligibility warnings

  • Scholarships are usually merit awards and may not reduce fees meaningfully unless combined with a bursary.
  • Bursary awards are normally means-tested and may be reassessed every year.
  • Property equity, savings, lifestyle, business ownership and dependants may affect eligibility.

Deadlines

Bursary applications normally need to be submitted with, or very close to, the admissions application. For this profile, Houseroom currently shows: Registration closes 2 Oct 2026.
