Westminster School Bursary Fund
At Westminster, we are committed to widening access to talented and deserving young people who show exceptional academic ability, passion and potential for learning. We nurture a diverse, inclusive community of instinctive, inquisitive scholars, where ambitious and able pupils come together with highly qualified, inspirational teachers to extend, enrich and enjoy learning.
There are currently 60 Westminster boys and girls in receipt of full fee remission or who receive some level of bursary support; these awards total £2 million annually. We now seek to raise £2.5 million per year to support an expanded range of awards.
By supporting a greater number of young people through bursaries, we can not only transform their lives, but also create a more enriching and stimulating experience for all of our pupils and our whole community.
“Being accepted into Westminster School instilled within me the confidence that I can achieve anything regardless of social class, family background or upbringing.” — Former bursary recipient
Your donation and the collective impact of donors at all levels coming together to support the Westminster School Bursary Fund can help to make a Westminster education possible for young people with the potential to flourish here. Thank you!
Tax efficient giving in the UK
As a registered charity, all donations made to Westminster School by UK tax payers can be made tax efficiently, significantly increasing the value of your gift through Gift Aid at no extra cost to you.
Higher rate tax relief
If you are a higher-rate tax payer, you can claim tax relief on all your charitable donations, including donating your acceptance fee. By including information about your donations in your self-assessment tax return, this significantly reduces the cost of your donations.
Overseas giving
Westminster is registered with a number of foundations with tax-exempt status. This means that families living in the US and Hong Kong are able to benefit from tax deductions on their charitable donations. We would be happy to provide additional information.
