Bursary Programme

Students seeking financial aid

Students who would not otherwise be able to attend due to financial circumstances are warmly encouraged to apply for a bursary. These awards can cover up to 100% of programme fees, depending on need.

Our bursary programme is highly competitive, and we expect a record number of applications this year.

Eligibility Requirements

Bursary applicants must be:

Aged between 13-18 at the commencement of the selected programme session.
Available to attend the academic sessions Online, in Cambridge, Oxford, London, Toronto, New York, San Francisco, Sydney, Singapore or Tokyo in 2026.
Eligible to live and study in the UK for the duration of the programme.
Have a genuine need for financial assistance. You’ll be asked to provide documentation to support your application.
Attend a non-fee paying school, or can demonstrate that financial support is required even if attending a fee-paying school.

Applications are welcomed from students of all nationalities.

How To Apply

The application process consists of an application form which should be submitted using the form above.

Key information to note:

Applications are open.
Applications will be reviewed monthly between January and June 2026 by our Bursary Selection Committee. We recommend applying as early as possible for the best chance of success. This rolling process means you’ll receive a decision shortly after each review.
It is recommended that you draft your responses, particularly to the essay question, in advance of submitting your form as you will be unable to save your form before submitting it.
Applicants must submit their essay response, video and financial verification in one form of submission.
Successful applicants will be offered a bursary of up to 100% of the participation fee to attend our Online or residential summer programmes.
Full and partial bursaries are valid for participation in our summer programmes only and cannot be exchanged for a cash equivalent.
Successful applicants will be given a clear deadline by which to confirm their place.
