Why Bursaries matter

Since our foundation, Queen's has believed that education has the power to transform lives. Our bursary recipients enrich the life of the College with their talents, perspectives and experiences, while benefiting from the lifelong friendships and opportunities that define a Queen's education.

Every gift to the Bursary Fund helps open the doors of Queen's to young people who might otherwise not have the opportunity to study here.

Our ambition is for 10% of Queen's pupils to receive full bursaries, made possible through the generosity of our community.

The impact of your support

Every donation, whatever its size, helps create life-changing opportunities for talented pupils.

Transforming lives

Bursaries enable pupils to benefit from a Queen's education regardless of financial circumstances.

Strengthening our community

A diverse pupil body enriches classroom discussion, school life and the friendships formed across the College.

Investing in the future

Today's bursary recipients become tomorrow's leaders, innovators and changemakers.

Our latest appeal: Every Girl Every Step
