Bursaries

The Foundation

Following a merger with fellow Brighton girls’ school St Mary’s Hall in 2009, Roedean has created a £10 million endowment fund. The income from this fund will finance life-changing bursaries for girls to be educated at Roedean.

This commitment to widening access reflects the philanthropic obligations felt by the founders of both Roedean and St Mary’s Hall.

The purpose of St Mary’s Hall was to educate daughters of poor clergy; for over 30 years the founder, the Reverend Henry Venn Elliott, gave generously of his time and personal fortune.

The Lawrence sisters started a charitable programme at Roedean for deprived London children as early as 1894, almost in tandem with the opening of the school.

Application and selection

The Foundation hopes to enrol its first pupils, proposed by educational charities and other partners, in September 2013.

All applicants will be means-tested so that funds can be most appropriately directed. They will be asked to show strong academic ability, as well as the potential to benefit from the very special boarding education and opportunities available at Roedean.

It is anticipated that in due course, up to 10% of Roedean pupils will be supported by the Foundation. 

Further details

Further details of the Foundation will be announced shortly; please email Zoe Marlow (zma@roedean.co.uk) to express your interest in the meantime.

Generic bursary funds

Roedean offers a range of means-tested bursaries, awarded on a careful case by case assessment of need. There are specific awards available for daughters of the clergy. 

Bursary forms are obtained from the admissions office in the autumn term and must be returned by 31 December. Bursaries are awarded by a special commmittee at the end of January and candidates have until March to accept the offer.
