At Oakham School, we welcome applications from candidates at 11+, 13+ and 16+ for a range of scholarships to recognise academic, all-round, creative, or sporting potential and excellence.
There are two types of scholarship available: those that carry a small fee reduction and honorary awards. Additional financial support is available through means-tested bursaries and candidates can apply for both a scholarship and a bursary.
