I've seen lots of posts on Mumsnet and other forums about bursaries and scholarships, with posters saying that they couldn't get into xyz school unless they are awarded one.
However, apart from the 100% and 50% awards! which are obviously financially beneficially, are they actually worth it? For example, a 10% award for a £10000 annual fee would only amount £1000 per year, less than £100 per month. Does this amount actually make a difference? A £3500 termly fee would then cost £3150 - still a lot of money, plus you have to buy school uniforms etc on top of that.
I don't know what the average bursary is, or how many are offered, but just wondered how much difference they actually make.
