How many 80% plus do Eton give out each year ?

[Tobstar106]

Does anyone know how many 80 % plus bursaries do Eton give out each year ?

Unless the bursar of Eton College is whiling away their time on MN it seems unlikely anyone will have an accurate and up to date answer. Have you asked them?

There won't be a specific number. Their FAQs on bursaries will give you an idea of how many children get bursaries each year and how many are on full bursaries but it won't give you a specific number showing how many students get which bursary.

@Brewtiful thank you I shall look that up .

@MatildaTheCat no I haven’t asked them , that’s why I am asking on here ,to see if anyone knows

I used to work in a different school. 1 in 5 received a bursary. Mostly only 5-10% off. 1 or 2 kids on “transformational” bursaries (over 50%). School of around 700.

Christ’s Hospital is the one to look at for bursaries. But very competitive. It’ll be based on your child’s talent and your ability to pay.

ETA I am aware that scholarships are for talent and bursaries are means tested. But the reality of awarding bursaries is based on how well a child will fit in, whether that child will excel, and whether they will improve the overall reputation of the school (eg are they a talented sportsman or will their academic results help the school in the league tables). There are too many applicants for bursaries and it’s become more competitive with VAT and the pot has to go further (so more smaller amounts than there used to be).

@purbal you are absolutely right you need to be scholarship standard to get a full bursary at Eton , Winchester ,Harrow and Radley ask you to sit the scholarship to get a busary , we are in the middle of doing all four .
