We believe that a Robert Gordon’s College education should be available to any child regardless of family income. Remaining true to the philanthropic ethos of our founder, Robert Gordon, the College is proud to offer a Bursary programme that currently sees 1 in 7 Senior School pupils benefit from our programme.
Via the College and Aberdeen Endowments Trust; other trusts and funds; and the College’s own endowments, free and reduced fee places are available every year to pupils entering Secondary 1 (S1). We awarded 25 Bursaries to pupils joining the College in August 2021.
Bursaries are awarded using a combination of academic merit and financial need. Bursary awards are only available to families with an annual household income under £80k.
Through the Development Office, the College is striving to raise more funds for free and reduced-fee places, and in recent years, has met this goal with considerable success. It is a belief at the heart of the Robert Gordon’s College philosophy that the school should be accessible to all the community of North-East Scotland, as it has been since its foundation.
