Bursaries We are a school of access. Our aspiration is that one day Dulwich will be a “needs blind” school, and open to all those who can benefit, regardless of their ability to pay fees. Our philanthropic focus is on the provision of transformational places, meaning fee support of 75-100%. Today we provide nearly six times as many free places as we did ten years ago.
“There is a direct, tangible impact that receiving financial support in the form of a bursary has had on me. It's there in all my work as I help to shape places, towns and cities, and inspire people today" CJ Obi, alumnus , UCL graduate (Urban Planning, Design and Management) and founder of Urbanist Platform that inspires young people from underrepresented backgrounds to work in the built environment.
£4.8m was spent on bursaries and the support of bursary-holders last year
“I will always remember my incredible educational journey at Dulwich College, which provided me with opportunities as diverse as going on sport tours, being a school magazine editor and being a Young Leader at Scouts.” Dan
Impact The impact of a bursary is felt way beyond the life and experience of the individual recipient. That is why schools’ Bursary Funds are enthusiastically supported by parents and alumni who both recognise the benefits social diversity in the pupil body bring for the wider community. Our commitment to access is a key reason why parents choose Dulwich College. A diverse community enriches the educational experience for everyone and fosters empathy, and adaptability. It brings together individuals with different perspectives, backgrounds and life experiences, preparing them to flourish in an interconnected global community.
Bursaries in numbers Spending on bursaries has more than doubled since 2013:
214 boys are in receipt of bursaries
125 boys receive full bursaries (100%)
167 boys receive deep bursaries (75%+)
11 boys from Ukraine are in receipt of bursaries
We are committed to ensuring those on funded places have the same Dulwich experience as their peers; funding is available for lunches, coach travel, music lessons, uniforms, stationery, and trips.
