Bursaries and Scholarships Fund
Opening doors at Leicester High School for Girls
At Leicester High School for Girls, we believe that a girl’s potential — not her financial circumstances — should determine her access to an excellent education.
Bursaries enable us to support girls whose families may not otherwise consider independent education, but who would thrive here.
With your support, we can offer more girls this opportunity.
Why it matters
Bursary support enables girls to:
-
Access high-quality teaching and individual support
-
Take part fully in school life, including trips and enrichment
-
Build confidence, independence, and ambition
-
Progress to leading universities and careers
Your support helps ensure that ability and aspiration are recognised — regardless of background.
One bursary can change a girl’s future — and often her family’s future too.
Ways you can help
You can support a pupil by:
- sponsoring a bursary
- making a one-off or regular donation
- leaving a legacy to the School
Every gift makes a difference
- £50 supports learning resources
- £250 helps fund enrichment opportunities
- £1,000 contributes towards a term of bursary support
- Regular monthly gifts help sustain access for future pupils.
A bursary allowed me to attend Leicester High and apply to study Medicine. I wouldn’t be where I am today without it.
