Bursaries

Cheltenham College is committed to widening access to independent education.

To support this commitment, we offer bursaries. Bursaries are potentially available from Year 6 onwards and are not limited to pupils who show exceptional talent – any child who meets our baseline entrance requirements can apply.

Our bursaries are means-tested and so dependant on financial circumstances.  A bursary can be applied for alongside a scholarship (or scholarships) if you wish. Bursary applications for the September entry need to be received into College by 31 January of the same year. Applications received after this date will not be considered. Full information can be found in our Bursary Policy.

If you have any questions about fees, scholarships, exhibitions, awards or bursaries, please do not hesitate to contact The Bursary/Finance team by telephone on 01242 265 643 or by email on bursar@cheltenhamcollege.org.

Bursaries for HM Forces’ Families

Cheltenham College has been supporting families serving in the British Armed Forces since 1841. To continue this legacy, today’s HM Forces families who are in receipt of the CEA pay only 10% of the fees for children who are boarding. For those pupils whose parents are serving in HM Forces but are not in receipt of the Continuing Education Allowance, we offer substantial military bursaries.

For detail on the financial support for families with parents serving in the British Armed Forces, please visit the Finance page in the HM Forces area of the website.
