Support Bursaries at Dollar
At Dollar Academy, widening access and encouraging a diverse and inclusive pupil population is key to our thinking and development.
Through our bursary scheme, we reach out to families to offer what can be a transformational educational experience for a child.
Our bursary awards, for children entering Form 1, are means-tested and are targeted towards those in greatest financial need.
Awards may cover the full tuition fee or part of it, depending on financial circumstances.
A full 6-year bursary costs around 120,000 – covering school fees, assistance with purchasing uniforms, and attendance at curricular trips and school social events.
When shared amongst many supporters over six years, £120,000 is the equivalent to:
- 70 people donating £25 a month
- 20 people donating £1,000 a year
- 4 people donating £5,000 a year
- 1 person donating £20,000 a year
Our bursary programme has already helped many individuals explore their full potential at Dollar.

Furthermore, as a registered charity, the Gift Aid scheme allows you to offset the tax on any size of donation you make. Just complete the form and submit it along with your donation.

Bursary Stories
As Dollar Academy’s Head Boy last year, Logan embraced every opportunity made possible by his 100% bursary. From winning world debating championships to thriving academically, his journey shows the transformative power of accessible education.
“It’s no exaggeration to say it’s been life-changing,” Logan reflects “I never would have been able to receive this education, but I have, and I’m extraordinarily grateful for the people who decided to donate enough money to send me to this school.”
