Assistance with Fees

Since our founding in 1561, Merchant Taylors’ has been committed to providing the best educational opportunities to talented children. Our Bursary Programme today aims to broaden access to education to exceptionally talented pupils irrespective of their financial background.

Our Bursary Programme offers financial support up to 100% of the fees, and in some cases, it may also help towards additional costs such as uniform, coaches, and other expenses ensuring that pupils can fully engage in the wide range of activities available at Merchant Taylors’.

Bursaries and Scholarships are evaluated separately, meaning that if a pupil is awarded a Scholarship, they may still qualify for a Bursary, and vice versa.

Each year, the number of applications exceeds the available funds, and performance in the entrance exams is part of the assessment process.

Our ambition is to make access to a Taylors’ education accessible to all, regardless of their background or financial means.

How can I Apply for a Bursary?

Eligibility for a Bursary is assessed through financial means-testing, conducted by an independent company and is likely to require a home visit.

The first step is to complete your son’s registration here. Once registered, email the Admissions Office to express your interest in applying for a Bursary. Pupils applying for a Bursary will go through the same entry assessment as all other applicants.

When you receive your offer, you will also be informed of the outcome of your bursary application.

Bursary applications must be submitted by 31 October of the year before entry (when your child is in Year 6 for 11+ or Year 11 for 16+).

If you have any questions, please email Admissions at admissions@mtsn.org.uk. You can download our Bursary Policy here.
