Bursaries

Through bursaries (fee assistance), the College is able to support families who would benefit from a Glenalmond education but would otherwise not be able to afford it.

In order to apply, parents are asked to complete a Registration Form after which they will be asked to complete a means testing exercise. We will then determine each application on an individual basis and consideration is given to the number of applicants and their individual requirements.

Please note that applications for assistance open in the autumn of the academic year prior to enrollment and are completed via a secure online portal.

Please contact the admissions team for more information.

Armed Forces' Families

Glenalmond is extremely proud of having a long tradition and relationship with Armed Forces personnel and we are accredited by the MOD for the Continuity of Education Allowance. Parents will pay the CEA plus 10% of the gross fee.
