The St George's Preparatory School Bursary is 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 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 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.
