Scholarships
Interested in our scholarships?
Stonyhurst has a long tradition of excellence that seeks to develop the full human potential of its pupils. We continue to excel in something we have successfully achieved for over 430 years – shaping individuals to be the best version of themselves, wherever their strengths and talents lie. Our Scholarship Programme identifies and rewards pupils who excel in a particular area, with human flourishment being one of the cornerstones of a Jesuit education.
Scholarships at Stonyhurst provide an enriched pathway within a pupil's relevant discipline and only carry 5% fee remission.
There are also honorary scholarships awarded that do not carry any additional fee support but put children on the relevant scholarship pathway and share the life of the scholars.
Scholarships are the highest awards offered by Stonyhurst and are granted at the discretion of the Headmaster.
It is essential that all external scholarship applicants have registered for a place at Stonyhurst before applying for a scholarship. Please register for a place by clicking the button below.
Being a Stonyhurst Scholar
Being a Stonyhurst Scholar carries privilege and responsibility. Every scholar is expected to set an example to other pupils in their general conduct and behaviour at Stonyhurst and should continue enthusiastically to fulfil the obligations associated with their scholarship. They are expected to embrace all the opportunities available to them.
The tenure of a scholarship is for the duration of the holder’s education at Stonyhurst, provided that the holder’s academic progress and general conduct remain satisfactory.
What scholarships are available?
Scholarships are available for academia, music, drama & theatre and sport. A small number of honorary scholarships are offered in the Sixth Form. These do not carry any additional financial support, but recipients are expected to share in the life of the scholars.
