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 a small amount of fee remission. Should further financial support be required, please refer to our bursary application process which can be found here.
There are three tiers of Scholarships which carry different levels of fee remission, these include:
- Major 20% fee remission
- Minor - 10% fee remission
- Exhibition - 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.
