Scholarships may be awarded for outstanding ability and are aimed at attracting talented pupils, whatever their family’s financial background. If you have a gifted child, a scholarship may provide the opportunity for an enriched educational experience that may not be available under normal circumstances.
St Lawrence College offers the chance for children to sit for a scholarship from the age of 8 upwards. In the Junior School Scholarships of 10% are awarded for academic excellence and bursaries which are means tested, are available in the Junior School. Please contact the school office for further details on jsadmissions@slcuk.com.
More details are included in our Scholarship Policy.
Any further funding required once a scholarship is awarded is means-tested in the form of a bursary.
Bursaries are means-tested and designed to offer financial assistance in exceptional circumstances to lower income households to either start at a school or remain at school if the family’s circumstances change. A bursary is an amount of money granted to make up the shortfall between what the family can afford and what the fees actually are. If you apply for a bursary you will need to provide the school with comprehensive details of your family’s financial position and be prepared for this to be reviewed at regular intervals.
