Bursaries are awarded on the basis of financial need and talent, and where possible, in partnership with outside sponsors. Due to limited funding, bursaries are not generally considered for applicants to the Preparatory School.
Limited funds are also available annually for financial assistance to families who are already at Bishops who are temporarily in need of assistance.
Legacy Bursaries
A limited number of bursaries may be awarded each year to talented boys coming from disadvantaged backgrounds who are either exceptional scholars, sportsmen or musicians. Parents are expected to contribute towards school fees according to their means.
Talent/Need Bursaries
These bursaries are awarded by the school to exceptionally talented boys from any background who are in financial need and who, in the opinion of the school, would benefit from a Bishops education and would add value to the school, funds permitting. Parents are expected to contribute towards school fees.
Sports Bursaries
A limited number of bursaries are on offer each year to boys coming from disadvantaged backgrounds who are in financial need and who display exceptional and proven ability in one of our major team sports. Parents are expected to contribute towards school fees according to their means.
Compassionate Bursaries
These bursaries may be awarded to boys already at the school, whose parents for unforeseen reasons are temporarily unable to meet the school fees. Applications should be made to the Finance Manager on the appropriate form available from the Admissions Secretary.
OD Bursaries
A limited number of OD bursaries are available annually for sons of ODs who require partial financial assistance towards their tuition fees at the College. The Hoffman Stempel and Robert Paton bursaries, as well as occasional OD year-group bursaries, are also currently available.
If you would like to apply for a bursary for your son, please contact the Admissions Secretary at admissions@bishops.org.za or 021 659 1014 to obtain the appropriate information and application form. All applications will be considered by the Scholarships and Bursaries Committee.
