UK Bursaries
ACS International Schools awards bursaries to local students
Following the launch of its new bursary programme last year, ACS International Schools has now confirmed 18 bursaries to children aged 11-16yrs at its three UK schools in Cobham, Egham and Hillingdon for the 2018/2019 academic year.
The bursaries include 13 full awards, with four students aged 11 receiving complete funding to attend ACS International Schools for seven years. In total, these bursaries represent a £2.2 million financial commitment by ACS over the next seven years for recipient students. The awards are made as ACS transitions to a charitable entity and significantly increases its investment in charitable endeavours.
Fergus Rose, Advancement Director at ACS International Schools, commented:
ACS is committed to creating opportunities for students in need. Bursaries and Scholarships are a powerful tool to ensure that curious minds can reach their full potential. We educate many students whose families are unable to fund the cost of living and studying, including international students from around the world.
An existing bursary student at ACS Egham, explained what the new cohort can expect at ACS: "I used to pass ACS every morning on my way to my old school and wonder what it would be like to attend. After I received my place at ACS Egham, the school did not disappoint. ACS is an incredibly warm and welcoming school, the teachers have been brilliant and I love the intellectual challenge of the IB. It's more than just the academics at ACS and I also enjoy the global outlook. I know these will help me achieve my ambition of becoming a lawyer.
