SCHOL AR SHIP S AND BUR SARIE S
We welcome applications from candidates at 11+, 13+ and 16+ for a range of scholarships that recognise academic, all-round, creative, or sporting potential and excellence.
We see scholarships as a recognition of excellence, not as a means to allay financial need, but the School is determined to allow access wherever possible to the benefits of an Oakham education. Our bursaries are means-tested and aimed at ensuring that we continue not only to stay true to our charitable purposes, but also to allow life-changing opportunities when our funds allow. Our scholarships therefore carry a limited fee remission, with an option to apply for additional bursary funds thereafter.
There are two types of scholarship available: those that carry a small fee reduction and honorary awards. Additional financial support is available through means-tested bursaries and UK-based candidates can apply for both a scholarship and a bursary.

In awarding scholarships, we seek boys and girls who wish to be Scholars in the broadest sense; extending themselves and enriching the community. Oakham has a long tradition of recognising and nurturing pupils with potential and drive in a variety of fields. In addition to developing their particular skills, we hope that an Oakham Scholar will act as a role model and inspiration to those around them. Teamwork and leadership are intrinsic to our expectations, together with an ongoing commitment to improvement.
Oakham is affiliated with the Arkwright Scholarships Trust, a national award scheme for pupils wishing to study Design and Technology and/or Maths at an advanced level. A detailed information booklet on Scholarships and Bursaries is available by visiting oakham.rutland.sch.uk/admissions/ scholarships-and-bursaries.
