Bursaries


Diocesan Scholar Bursaries

In support of our commitment to transformation, we offer a number of Diocesan Scholar Bursaries to previously disadvantaged pupils based on financial need and the talent of the individual which could be developed and nurtured through our school programmes.

This is in any field such as academic ability, sporting prowess, cultural talent or all-round ability coupled with good character (ie a boy who demonstrates integrity and respect along with diligence and perseverance; and demonstrates his will to live the values of the school).

The bursaries are available in the following levels of support:

  • 25% of the fees
  • 50% of the fees
  • 75% of the fees
  • 100% of the fees (full bursary)

These bursaries are designed to provide partial or full financial assistance to help cover educational costs

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 Officer 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. Bishops will then respond with the level of support they are able to offer, based on the applicant's eligibility and how well they meet the established criteria.
