    Bursaries
    University College School prides itself on its generous and well-funded Bursary scheme, which allowed it to offer £1.2 million in bursarial support last year as well as placing it at the top of independent schools in London for the number of 100% bursaries awarded (90% of all bursaries awarded are full-fee awards). Pupils in receipt of 100% awards are also eligible to attend academic trips free of charge and receive a significant reduction (greater than 50%) towards the cost of other trips.

    UCS estimates that the upper limit for fee assistance is a gross household income of £100,000. All awards are means-tested subject to a full financial review and are reassessed annually.
