The Foundation’s Key Areas of Focus

Bursaries
The Foundation strives to substantially increase funding available for bursaries and needs-based financial assistance for students and to enable any student offered a place to be able to accept, irrespective of financial background. It manages and invests bequests from donors to maximise funds available for bursaries.
Creative Minds

Preparation for the next step
The Biomedical programme, Cultural programme and the Leadership programme are some of the opportunities available for students as they prepare for the next step to college or careers.
