Scholarships and Bursaries at Hurst
Hurst has devised a new approach to scholarships and bursaries that aims to widen access to Hurst, allowing exceptionally talented young people to benefit from a Hurst education irrespective of their parents’ wealth or background. This new approach increases the total amount of funding availabable for bursarial support by reallocating the fee discounts that historically were associated with scholarships but which were issued irrespective of the family’s financial circumstances. This means every single successful scholarship applicant now has the opportunity to apply for a means-tested bursary, allowing an even broader and more diverse range of pupils to access a Hurst education. Scholarships no longer have a fee remission element to them, instead they will follow a robust Pathway programme to enhance their skills and talents in those areas.
The Scholarship and Bursary Information Booklet aims to set out the attributes that we are looking for, the process through which these star performers are identified, and the pathways that we offer our award holders in order to help them not only achieve their personal best, but also to enable them to help others to do the same.
Being an award holder at Hurst is not just about individual excellence. It is also about the positive impact that these elite performers can have on those around them. We are looking for leaders who will inspire others to push themselves to greater heights; and we expect our scholars to be role models, who will shape the culture of the whole cast, the whole team, the whole class. At Hurst, it is about attitude: making the very most of the talents and abilities that our pupils have been blessed with, and putting those gifts to good use within the school community.
Being a scholar at Hurst is not just a title. It is a way of life.
