Bursaries - ACS Egham

Bursaries

At ACS Egham, we’re committed to inspiring and nurturing the next generation of global thinkers and doers.

This has always been our mission and we’ve demonstrated this by not only providing an exceptional education, but by equipping our young people with the knowledge and skills they need to understand the world they live in, in readiness to rise to its challenges. We foster a community of diversity and inclusion, where everyone is welcome and supported.

ACS Egham bursaries are offered to students with exceptional personal and academic potential who are most likely to benefit from an ACS education, but whose family circumstances mean that their parents cannot meet the full school fees. Bursary students must also live within the busing catchment area of the school to ensure they can comfortably travel to school every day.
