Whitgift foundation bursary

Post by Ahmedfamily »

Hi I wonder if anyone can answer my question..

If a bursary place is offered to the child, is income assessed and bursary offered on that basis or does it depend on entrance test result and a certain percentage of bursary offered according to that result?

Thank you

:D

Bursaries are means tested. Scholarships are not.

Have you been contacted by W or T as well? One of the friends has been contacted about the offer / possible level of bursary.

We have been contacted with an offer of a bursary place. But due to the foundation not receiving one document the bursary application has not been finalised. So not sure where we quite stand.

Does that mean you are contacted/offered before the official offer date if you are going to be offered a bursary? I thought you found out with the offer? Im intrigued! :D
