Scholarships & Bursaries

We offer 10 Academic Scholarships based solely on performance in the Entrance Examination. Scholarship offers are sent alongside Admissions Offers to all prospective Year 7 boys at the end of January. The current scholarship provides a 10% reduction in fees for Years 7-11. 

Up to eight scholarships are available for entry to the Sixth Form, categorised as follows: 

• Salesian Ethos Scholarships 

• Outstanding Ability Scholarships 

• Academic Excellence Scholarships 

Each scholarship offers a reduction in fees of £1,500 annually for each of the two years of Sixth Form study, subject to satisfactory performance and review at the end of the Lower Sixth. 

Means-tested bursaries are available for any prospective family to apply for. The application process is managed by Bursary Administration Limited, who will arrange a home visit (online if necessary). Bursary information can be requested on the Registration Form. 

Application Process 

Bursary applications should be submitted in the Autumn Term of Year 6. The Bursary Committee meets in January of Year 6, and awards are made to parents the day after the publication of the Entrance Exam results. 

Award Duration and Review 

Bursaries are initially awarded for one year and are subject to annual review to account for any significant changes in financial circumstances. If a parent already has a child in the school on a bursary, this will be taken into consideration. 

These awards are distinct from the scholarships offered. Any student, boy or girl, who enters the Salesian College Sixth Form and has a younger sibling studying at the College, is entitled to a Keeping Families Together award. The financial worth of this award is a 25% discount off the tuition fees for each year of sixth form study. No application for a Keeping Families Together award is required, except for confirmation of entitlement.
