Scholarship Programs
Branksome supports students through a program of entrance merit scholarships and financial assistance (bursaries). Our philosophy is to support, in part, as many families as possible as they look to finance their Branksome experience from Grades 7 to 12.
Entrance scholarships
We strongly believe that our community is enriched by multiple perspectives and experiences. To recognize the skills, attributes and dedication of outstanding new Grades 7–11 students, we are pleased to award Entrance Scholarships.
