Workshops

Improve your applications with practical support

Sixth Form Bursaries

If you have ever dreamt of being at a top independent school or thought you would like to board, then you should look closely at the Bursary & Scholarships Workshops programme. 

Some of the UK's most well-known independent schools, such as St Paul's, Winchester College, Millfield and St Paul's Girls, will be explaining the generous financial assistance available for the right sixth form entrants. These independent schools are at Step Up for a reason. They want to find good applicants.

There are 22 talks on this workshop stage. Browse the programme, and research the schools to find the ones that seem most suitable for you.

The talks will inform you and your parents about the assistance that's available, who qualifies, how schools assess applicants and when to apply.
