Scholarships and Bursaries
Scholarships
Scholarships are offered to pupils entering the Fourth and Sixth Forms (Years 9 and 12). They are awarded in recognition of outstanding achievement or promise in a particular sphere. The primary benefit for our Scholars is the additional support, extension and challenge that the Scholarship programme provides.

Bursaries
We currently set aside a significant sum each year in order to fund Bursaries to pupils whose families would otherwise be unable to afford our fees.
Means-tested bursaries are available to new entrants to the School. Such awards are intended to extend the benefits of a Mill Hill education to pupils whose families would not otherwise be able to afford the School’s fees. In addition, the School makes provision for the award of hardship bursaries to assist families who experience sudden and unexpected hardship. Bursaries are funded from the School’s fee income, supplemented by contributions to The Mill Hill School Foundation Appeal.
Bursary awards are made by the Court of Governors upon the recommendation of the Foundation Bursary Committee. Families wishing to apply for financial support are encouraged to request a Bursary Application Form which is available from the Bursar’s office bursaries@millhill.org.uk.

| Bursary Applications | Open from September 2024 |
| Deadline for Bursary Applications | Monday 18 November 2024 |
The ABC Bursary
ABC stands for A Better Chance. Thanks to the generosity of Old Millhillians, we are able to offer a full-fee bursary to a pupil (from a low-income family) with the credentials to be successful at Mill Hill School. The donors who fund this bursary believe that Mill Hill gave them an excellent start in life, a basis on which to build success in their careers. They wish to make a similar opportunity available to a young person in the future.
Support A Bursary
Bursaries open the door to a Mill Hill education regardless of a child’s means, it is something that we are proud of and haven’t lost sight of since our school was founded in 1807.
