Named changed as I am posting for a friend .

Her son is very bright and he just passed King Edward Witley and hoping to get into Eltham college and Collfes too.
They live in SE london and she is wondering which one to choose among the 3 and if to go for boarding at King Edward .
They are from an ethnic minority background and hoping to get a scholarship due to low income .
Which would you choose and why .

Thanks for reading

This is way too little info for a recommendation. If their son prefers to be amongst bright pupils, I'd think Eltham College is the best match. But, if he hates rugby, I think another school may well be a better fit. There are many schools within reach, particularly if boarding is an option for the boy and the parents.

So you mean scholarship or bursary?
Scholarship don't usually give much money off (if any sometimes), whereas bursaries can be given for up to100% of fees.
If its bursaries, then I would work backwards and see which schools are able to offer and numbers/funds available.
