Bursaries
Bursaries are offered on the basis of demonstrated financial need, in order to assist students during their studies at the College.
Students and their families are expected to make a maximum effort to cover daily living expenses, such as food, accommodation and personal items, from their own resources. If, after assessing these resources, a student finds his or her financial means insufficient, he or she should apply for a bursary.
Non-residential students may request payment into their bank account or offset their bursary against tuition fees. Residential students must offset their bursary against residential fees.
