WHAT DOES A SCHOLARSHIP OFFER? The major contribution we can make to scholars is the development of their specialism through expert, tailored provision and support, via our bespoke scholar programmes. Reflecting the value of these programmes and following the tax changes imposed by the government from January 2025, we made the decision to set the level of fee remission associated with all scholarships at five per cent. For scholarship award winners, this can be supplemented by a means-tested bursary.
HOW MANY SCHOLARSHIPS CAN BE APPLIED FOR? Candidates can apply for more than one standalone scholarship
WHAT DO WE EXPECT FROM OUR APPLICANTS? Awards are made from the beginning of the Michaelmas term in Year 9, for the full five years at Eastbourne College provided that the award-holder continues to show appropriate effort, enthusiasm and performance, and is dependent on good conduct.Where appropriate and according to the sixth form scholarship criteria, scholars may forfeit their award if they do not study the subject beyond GCSE. All scholarships will be reviewed annually. The College reserves the right to withdraw awards if at any point, in the opinion of the Headmaster, and after monitoring procedures, the pupil is performing significantly below expectations or in cases of serious misconduct.
HOW ARE PUPILS ASSESSED?
In addition to the general entry requirements (please refer to our admissions policy), any scholarship- specific requirements can be found in the following relevant pages. Awards are made as a result

MEANS-TESTED BURSARIES
Eastbourne College believes exceptional talent should be supported and nurtured.
The College believes that the major contribution we can make to scholars is the development of their specialism through tailored provision and support.We have strong programmes in place for scholars of all disciplines to develop their talents and help them to inspire those around them. Reflecting the value of these programmes and following the tax changes imposed by the government from January 2025, we made the decision to set the level of fee remission associated with all scholarships at five per cent. In order to access bursary support, a pupil must also be in receipt of a scholarship award .This process of “dual-qualification” ensures that our capacity for fee remission is focused on prospective pupils with exceptional talents who would not otherwise be in a position to access our educational opportunities and whose main family residence is in the UK. Any prospective pupil hoping to secure bursary support must indicate this intention at the time of applying for the scholarship, by checking the relevant box on the application form. This should allow the means testing process to take place concurrently with the scholarship assessment(s), enabling us to make bursary offers to eligible applicants who have also secured a scholarship award.
Please note that the College does not offer fully-funded places as part of its bursary programme, with families always expected to contribute meaningfully to the fees for their children. Means testing is completed by our partner, Bursary Administration Limited and will involve a home visit. Bursaries are not available for families who reside overseas due to visa requirements. For the College to process a bursary application, it is necessary for the child to be registered with us.
