Hi all,
DDs music teacher suggested we try for a music scholarship in independent schools. Pls can anyone tell me how much do the scholarships translate to in actual £?
What’s the max % they do ? And for what?
We won’t qualify for means tested bursaries.
The Bromley High School website directs one to the gdst website, where one finds
https://www.gdst.net/parents/bursaries#faq-12 Bursaries range from 30% to 100% of fees; however, the amount of any bursary depends on local demand and the funding available. Sometimes awards of a lesser value may be offered. Pupils who get a full bursary may also get help to meet the cost of their uniforms, lunches and travel.
The values of scholarships vary, but are generally small and more about the honour of the award than the amount given. A scholarship may, however, be supplemented by a bursary. I think that there is Charities Commission guidance on the maximum percentage reduction in fees that should be offered as a non-means tested award?
