Financial Assistance

Bursaries

Bursaries are distinct from our Scholarships and Awards. They are intended to provide financial assistance to families who may be unable to afford the full tuition fees, who believe that a Concord education would provide the best educational pathway for their child. Bursaries may also be considered for families whose financial circumstances change during their child’s time at the school.

All Bursary applications are means-tested, and parents are required to complete a detailed financial assessment form in support of their application.
