Financial Assistance

At Queen Elizabeth’s Hospital, we believe that financial circumstances should never prevent talented children from accessing an outstanding education. Since our foundation in 1590, we have supported many pupils through financial assistance, as it is important to our school that we are an inclusive and diverse community, accessible to children who would benefit from a QEH education regardless of socio-economic background. Through the work of our development team, we are actively working to increase the number of families we can help.

Financial assistance is means-tested and separate from scholarships, which are awarded on talent and do not carry a fee remission. Read more about scholarships at QEH.

What is financial assistance?

Financial assistance is a tailored, means-tested award that helps families with school fees. Support can range from partial to full 100% fee assistance.

Who is eligible?

  • Available to pupils joining Year 7 (11+) and above
  • Based on family income and capital assets, net of liabilities and debts
  • All families are encouraged to apply if they believe they might qualify

Before you apply

Most families considering QEH will have already visited the school, either on one of our open events or on an individual tour. We encourage you to explore the school, meet our pupils and staff, and ask any questions you may have.

If you have not yet visited, we warmly invite you to book a visit or attend one of our upcoming open events.
