Bursaries

Through bursaries (fee assistance), the College is able to support families who would benefit from a Glenalmond education but would otherwise not be able to afford it.

In order to apply, parents are asked to complete a Registration Form after which they will be asked to complete a means testing exercise. The Chief Operating Officer will then determine each application on an individual basis and consideration is given to the number of applicants and their individual requirements.

Please note that applications for assistance for the 24/25 academic year have now closed, and applications for the 25/26 academic year will open in the autumn via a secure online portal.
