Scholarships
Scholarships are available, giving a reduction in school fees. These include Open Academic Scholarships, Music, Art and Drama Scholarships, Lockhart Academic Scholarships, Edinburgh Scholarships, Fishmongers' Company Open Scholarships and Fishmongers' Art Scholarships, Sports Scholarships and All Rounder Scholarships. There is also an award called the 450th Anniversary Boarding Award.
Examinations for Academic Scholarships are held every February for admission the following September, while Scholarships in Music, Sport, Art, and Drama are awarded on the basis of interviews and practical work.
Sixth Form Scholarships for Sport, Music, Art, and academic distinction are awarded in December for the two years beginning the following September and are open to external and internal candidates.
The maximum value of a Scholarship is half of the school's fees, but the value may be increased by a bursary in cases of financial need.
Roughly one in four Gresham's pupils hold a scholarship, and about one in eight receive a bursary for financial need.
