Bonas MacFarlane Scholarships
In 2017 Bonas MacFarlane offered a group of 26 students from widening participation backgrounds (free school meals or parents who did not attend university) 100% scholarships on our University Preparation Programme. Students received one-to-one tuition and mentoring through the sixth form, plus a programme of seminars, extension lectures and extension readings designed to help them make better university choices, and enhance their academic skills. Taught by our top university advisors and university academics from Oxbridge and Russell Group universities, the course is inspirational and highly effective. Almost 50% of this first group received Oxbridge offers.
In 2018 we expanded the programme to provide 100% scholarships to 63 students.
