Bursaries

Boys can have the opportunity to come and thrive at Whitgift regardless of their background and finances should not be a barrier to making an application. 

Whitgift offers bursaries to applicants up to 110% of the fee amount - that’s 100% of tuition fees covered as well as support with school uniform, school lunches, travel on the school buses and money towards the cost of school trips.  

Whitgift receives £2.15m from John Whitgift Foundation each year which enables means-tested bursarial support for around one in 10 of our 1,500 students. However, our Whitgift For All campaign, launched in May 2022, aims to initially raise an additional £5 million for the School’s bursary scheme – enough to provide 110% bursaries for a further seven talented boys in perpetuity.  

These bursaries benefit our whole School community by enhancing academic and wider curricular standards and continuing to make Whitgift a more socially cohesive community. Bursaries also reinforce the aspirational and inclusive nature of our School.
