Bursaries
The offer of fee support to an academically bright boy who could not otherwise come to Dulwich can be a life-changing moment; the beginning of a journey to realising his full potential. Our provision of financial support is crucial to this and why our key philanthropic priority is to grow the Bursary Appeal Fund and provide 50% of boys with fee assistance.
Thanks to the support of the Dulwich community the Bursary Appeal Fund (established in 1990) now stands at £11.8m and in conjunction with our own financial resources, including all income from the Dulwich Estate, enabled us to provide fee assistance to 30% of pupils in the senior school last year. Since 2012 The College has increased spending on bursaries by 64%, providing £2.74m in bursary support in 2017/18 and funding 162 boys. 67 of those are receiving full bursaries and would not otherwise be able to come to Dulwich.
We believe Dulwich is at its greatest when we are a diverse school, one with a healthy social mix and a breadth of talent, character and backgrounds. The College needs the support of the entire community to reach our goal – ensuring that financial means has no bearing on admissions and bright boys from all backgrounds can benefit from and contribute to a Dulwich education.

“I know that I am incredibly fortunate to have been given a place here. I greatly appreciate everything this school has done for me – I hope to use the knowledge and skills I have acquired here to help others, and to give back to the school that has given so much to me.”
