Through our full Candlelight Bursaries, we aim to widen access and support girls who have the promise and character to thrive at Sherborne Girls and whose challenging circumstances at home mean a boarding education is life-changing for both the girl and her family.
As well as benefiting the girls’ social and educational opportunities, we hope that our Candlelight Bursaries recipients will also raise the educational aspirations in their home communities and in so doing further encourage social mobility.
We partner with The Royal National Children’s SpringBoard Foundation (RNCSF) to identify girls who would really gain from our help. It is not about finding the most gifted but about ensuring each student receives high-quality help and support, giving them the opportunity of a brighter future, regardless of their background.
You can help change a girl’s life by making a one-off donation or regular gifts of any amount to our Candlelight Bursaries Fund.

Gift Aid can also be reclaimed on any donations made by UK taxpayers.
