Eton’s central purpose is the provision of education. Our comprehensive range of scholarships and bursaries ensure that talented boys from all financial backgrounds have the opportunity to benefit from an education at Eton.
In 2022/23, 265 boys received fee reductions; 105 of these boys paid no fees at all. The average award was 69% of the fee.
As part of our vision for broadening access, Eton will continue to increase financial aid to enable more young people from vulnerable and disadvantaged backgrounds to study at Eton, including Looked After Children. All financial awards at Eton are made through a detailed means-testing process.
We must play our part, as an educational charity, in helping to address inequality.

All boys who win King’s Scholarships and/or Music Scholarships will be offered means-tested financial aid at a level which enables them to attend Eton. These awards may include, where necessary, extras. These scholarships are currently awarded to over 140 boys. King’s Scholarships are awarded on academic promise and Music Scholarships on musical promise. Since September 2020, the Sixth Form entry route has been via the means-tested Orwell Award, which, under most circumstances, will offer boys a free place plus widespread support towards music lessons and other extras.
boys received fee reductions in 2022/23.
