Roedean's independent school scholarship programmes

Independent school scholarships and bursaries at Roedean

Roedean staff are passionate about sharing their subject expertise, so we are delighted to encourage enthusiasm and reward success in our girls by offering senior school scholarships. Our scholarships are given to students with drive, focus and above all, spirit.

Our scholars should be role models who lead by example in a conscientious approach to their work and a willingness to help others who may be less obviously successful. Scholars in practical subjects are expected to participate fully in the extra-curricular programme of the department.

A senior school scholarships can be offered to girls entering Years 7, 8 and 9 and to those joining the sixth form. Naturally, we recommend early application; scholarships for private schools are highly competitive and Roedean is no exception.

Roedean scholarships are worth a 10% reduction on day or boarding fees. They may be combined with sibling or Old Roedeanian discounts, or means-tested bursaries. They are awarded for the duration of a girl’s studies at Roedean, upon satisfactory academic commitment and progress.
