Scholarships at Marlborough

All pupils at Marlborough College have numerous opportunities to explore their interests and develop their talents in a wide range of disciplines. They are invited to challenge themselves to an appropriate, individual level in order to recognise their potential and to understand that by aiming high and working with focus and determination, they can reach and often exceed their own expectations.

The scholarship assessment process is deliberately rigorous and aims to allow pupils to demonstrate exactly what they will be able to offer to the College and how they will benefit from our Scholarship enrichment programmes. Prior to any application, parents should discuss their child’s scholarship potential with the Head of their current school.

On arrival at the College, scholars begin an exciting journey of development and self-discovery which we hope will continue through life. At all stages of their Marlborough careers, scholars should naturally take a lead and help others to aspire to excellence.

Please note that a scholarship award is honorary and does not secure a reduction in College fees. To support families who would not otherwise be able to afford College fees, applications for means-tested bursaries are welcomed and need to have been applied for by 1st July in the year of enrolment.
