Bursaries

Beale Awards, CLC's means-test bursary programme, are one of the cornerstones of our educational provision at Cheltenham Ladies' College.

Named after our longest-serving Principal Dorothea Beale, not only do Beale Awards create life-changing opportunities for girls from all backgrounds, they are a two-way opportunity. CLC enjoys a rich cultural heritage, and the diversity of our student body stimulates creativity and intellectual curiosity, both in the classroom and beyond.

Currently, we offer Beale Awards to about 72 girls, of whom half have a fully-funded place.  This is a significant commitment, which requires an investment of £2.6m every year.  We would like to go further, but we do not benefit from a large endowment to fund this programme so we are limited in what we can achieve on our own.

Together, we can widen access to the transformative opportunity of a College education and your gift, large or small, will really make a difference. There are a number of ways to support the Beale Awards.
