The Bursary Appeal Fund The College relies on the philanthropic support of alumni, current and former parents, staff, and friends of the College to help fund bursary places, alongside our own financial resources. The endowed Bursary Appeal Fund currently stands at £18.6 million, enabling us to offer financial support to double the number of boys at the College today compared to 2013. The majority of those who are in receipt of bursarial support benefit from fee remission of 75% or more. By growing the Bursary Appeal Fund we will be able to support future generations of talented boys who are unable to attend the College solely due to their economic circumstances. A gift to the Bursary Appeal Fund, of any size, will make an impact the lives of boys and their families who can benefit from financial assistance with fees and have the opportunity of a life-changing education.
“The Dulwich Experiment transformed not only my father’s life, but the lives of everyone in my family. Both his parents were factory workers and would have never been able to afford the fees but thanks to receiving a Dulwich Experiment place, he went on to become a chartered surveyor and was able to afford the fees for me to attend Dulwich in turn. I am forever grateful to the College not only for what it has given me, but what it has done for my whole family.”
Nick Howe OA (1974-80) is an example of the ongoing impact of bursaries. While Nick was not a bursary recipient himself, his father, Thomas ‘Hooky’ Howe OA (1946-53) was able to attend Dulwich College thanks to a local authority funded place Thomas trained as a Chartered Surveyor and remained involved with the College as both a member of the Rugby Club, and later Captain of the OA Golf Society.

Upon leaving the College, Nick followed in his father’s footsteps, becoming a chartered surveyor, as has Nick’s daughter. Nick is currently the Chairman of the Old Alleynian Association.
