Scholarships & Bursaries at Wycliffe

Scholarships are awarded to the best applicants in their fields. Wycliffe Scholars benefit not only from a proportionate discount off the Fees but also from the kudos of being recognised and celebrated for their ability, and from various programmes to support their time at Wycliffe. A successful Scholar will be a leader in their chosen field of expertise and a good role model during their time at Wycliffe.

Making Your Application

We also encourage and welcome scholarship applications from external and International pupils. Special arrangements are made if the pupil is unable to attend the assessments.

Current Wycliffe pupils who hold previous scholarship awards can apply for further scholarships in their chosen strengths. Scholarships are held for the duration of a pupil’s time in the Senior School, provided their conduct is satisfactory and their level of work and commitment is in line with the expectations of a Scholar.

Bursaries

Transformational Bursaries are provided in conjunction with our partner Royal National SpringBoard Foundation, a charity that aims to identify and match capable children from disadvantaged backgrounds with boarding schools where they will most benefit. Wycliffe is an accredited member of Royal National SpringBoard Foundation. For entry in September, the bursary application deadline is 31st January, we do not offer bursaries for in-year admissions.

If you feel that your child would qualify for a Transformational Bursary then visit the website for Royal National Springboard in the first instance: www.royalspringboard.org.uk

Pupils develop an excellent understanding of how to improve their learning and performance, so that they are well-prepared for the next stage of their lives and face it with a calm assuredness.
