Award holders who require assistance over and above the value of their award will be eligible for a means tested bursary to provide assistance of up to 100% of termly fees. Parents of boys who are likely to require a bursary should contact the Registry and request a Means Test form which should be completed and submitted at the same time as the Scholarship application.
The School also awards Open Bursaries for boys who are not of Scholarship standard but who are likely to benefit significantly from a Sherborne education. Further information about the application process for Open Bursaries is available from the Registry.
