Scholarships & Bursaries
Bursaries
Warwick Academy offers means-tested bursaries across all Year groups. We offer on average 120 awards each year, ranging from $1,000 to $10,000. Our aim is to support the lives of our young people and ensure that their educational opportunities are not affected by a lack of financial means.
All students awarded a bursary must maintain good academic and behavioural standards.
Our bursaries are supported by earnings from an Endowment Fund. While we continue to build this fund, we are constrained by the amount of earnings it provides. Please feel free to contact the Development Office if you would like to donate to this worthy cause.
