Scholarships and Bursaries
There are no barriers to a Malvern College education.
The Malvern College Scholarship programme seeks exceptional pupils who possess a unique spark of brilliance.
Becoming a scholar means having the appetite to not only challenge limits within your field of excellence but across all facets of school life.
Our transformative scholarships inspire children to reach their greatest aspirations. Our scholars walk the path blazed by innovators, entrepreneurs, designers, musicians, artists, academics and celebrated elite athletes.
Expectations are high for all scholars and award holders, not just in their pursuit of excellence but in conduct and behaviour. Scholars are the Malvern College role models and stand as pillars of the pupil community, guided by the principles and values of our school.
Means-tested bursaries are also available to ensure there are no barriers to a Malvern College education.
Scholarships are offered in the following fields at 13+ (Key Stage 4) and Sixth Form:
- Academic
- Art & Design
- Music
- Drama
- Sport
How to apply
Each Scholarship at 13+ and 16+ entry has their own application form and submission deadline. For support and guidance with your application, please get in touch
Bursaries
College scholarships offer fee reductions of up to 15% for one award, and up to 20% for multiple awards. Bursarial remissions are calculated differently.
Malvern has a long tradition of providing opportunities to children who lack the financial means but would thrive in our school environment. These awards can cover up to 110% of school fees and are supported by our alumni society who offer various awards and assisted places alongside the College.
It is possible to hold both a scholarship and school bursary and we welcome pupils from all walks of life. We are proud of our inclusive student cohort: pupils at Malvern College come from all walks of life, from all over the world which creates the rich fabric of our school community.
To discuss applying for a bursary for your child, please contact our Admissions Team via email at admissions@malverncollege.org.uk or call us on +44 (0)1684 581 515.
