Thanks to generations of benefactors and supporters we are fortunate to have a well-established endowment, which allowed us to budget £9.7 million for scholarships and bursaries in the 2024/25 financial year. All parents need to complete a financial declaration to confirm their affordability of school fees. Parents who indicate on this declaration that they require financial assistance are invited to complete an online bursary application form so that the Bursaries Committee can determine the level of bursary award applicable. Bursaries range from 5% to 100% and are dependent on a family’s financial circumstances. We do not publish guidance on qualifying income levels as each application is assessed on a case-by-case basis.
An independent company may carry out a home visit to assist in the assessment of family circumstances. All applications are then considered by the Bursaries Committee, chaired by the Bursar.
We support as many applications as funding allows. In 2023/24, 247 boys received fee reductions; 99 of these boys paid no fees at all. The average award was 71% of the fee.
boys paid no fees in 2023/24.
As we cannot fund all of the applications, our development team is working hard with current supporters to try to grow our funds still further.

We are committed to making an Eton education accessible to talented boys whatever their background.
