Bursaries
The St. George's Preparatory School Bursary, supported by the Jersey Educational Trust 2015 (JET2015).
In 2022, JET2015 was proud to launch The St. George’s Preparatory School Bursary. This means-tested award will cover up to 100% of core school fees for a pupil entering St. George’s in Form IV from an external school.
The Bursary has been created to offer access to the exceptional educational, pastoral and environmental opportunities offered here at St. George’s to pupils who would otherwise be unable to attend. One of the School’s key aims is to support every pupil in our care to achieve their greatest potential. We welcome applications supporting children with an equal commitment to achieving their very best.
The key objective of The St. George’s Preparatory School Bursary is to offer committed pupils the support, guidance, challenge, belief and vision to make the most of every opportunity to fulfil their potential. Alongside every pupil attending our very special school, Bursary recipients will be expected to act as ambassadors for our School and our School Values of Kindness, Resilience, Achievement and Responsibility, both inside and far beyond our school walls. Bursary applications for entry to St. George’s the following September open early in the Spring Term each year.

About The Jersey Educational Trust 2015

JET2015 ensures that 100% of any profits generated by the school are reinvested for the benefit of our pupils and the wider school community.
Internal Bursaries
We offer a limited number of Bursaries to enable pupils already attending St George's to continue their education here who would otherwise be unable to do so for financial reasons.
The amount of assistance varies and requires the support of the Headteacher, Directors and Trustees. Whilst each Bursary supports the child for the remainder of their time at St George’s, it is subject to an annual review. Applications should be in writing and addressed to the Bursar here at St. George's.
