College Scholarships
At St Edmund’s College, we offer scholarships at Year 7 (Elements), Year 9 (Grammar) and Year 12 (Sixth Form). All scholarships offer a reduction in school fees of up to 20% for the duration the student is at the College. Additional financial support may be awarded in conjunction with a scholarship by applying for a bursary. For more information please see the bursary page of the website.
