Scholarships and Bursaries

Finborough School, located in the heart of Suffolk, offers a range of scholarships for talented students across the UK and beyond.

At Finborough School, a leading independent boarding school in Suffolk, we offer academic, arts, and sports scholarships to students who demonstrate exceptional commitment, enthusiasm, and potential for success in their chosen field.

While our scholarships do not carry a financial fee reduction, they are prestigious awards that provide access to a bespoke programme of enrichment, mentorship, and development opportunities. These scholarships reflect our commitment to recognising and nurturing talent within an environment that values both academic excellence and personal growth.

Each scholarship is tailored to the individual, offering structured support and inspiring experiences that align with their strengths and aspirations. With clear expectations for sustained excellence, our scholarship programme is designed to elevate students’ journeys—whether in the classroom, on the stage, or on the sports field—within one of Suffolk’s most dynamic and forward-thinking schools.
