Help deserving and talented young people access a College education.
As a registered charity, the College takes its public benefit obligations seriously, and bursary provision sits at the heart of that commitment. Through our bursary, hardship and scholarship programmes, as well as close partnerships with local schools, we work to ensure that talented young people can access a Cheltenham College education regardless of their background. Your gift will contribute directly to that work, helping to open doors for pupils who might not otherwise have the opportunity to come here.
Donations are invested in one of our Bursary endowment funds. The proceeds of these endowed funds allow us to finance fully-funded bursary places at Cheltenham College in perpetuity.
The Edward Wilson Endowment Fund has been established in memory of Edward Wilson, one of College's best known OCs whose story continues to inspire pupils and staff at College today.
The courage Wilson, Captain Scott and their team showed during their fatal return journey from the South Pole in 1912 established them as classic heroes. Wilson was a pioneer of what we know today as Extreme Sports Medicine, his studies of mammals and birds were groundbreaking, he was one of the last Royal Naval expedition artists, and his devout Christian faith guided his actions and inspired others.
To honour this legacy, our ambition is to create a £1 million bursary endowment fund, which would generate sufficient income for a fully-funded bursary place for a talented and deserving young student at Cheltenham College every year, in perpetuity. We have currently raised just over £275,000. We are grateful your generosity of all sizes in memory of this extraordinary man.
We are also grateful to Dr David Wilson, great nephew of Edward Wilson, for helping us to launch this fund. Read more about Edward Wilson's incredible legacy at www.edwardwilson.com
In memory of Guy Dodd (H, 1959, College staff 1966-82, Leconfield Housemaster 1977-1982, College Council 1999-2005)
The Guy Dodd bursary endowment fund has been established in memory of Guy, described in his Cheltonian obituary as, 'quite simply a wonderful man. We are all forever in his debt and will never forget him.'
Hearing the sad news of his death, the College community rallied round, considering how best to commemorate him. It was decided that a bursary in his name is something that Guy would have approved of. We continue to receive gifts from all those who benefitted from his guidance and care.
The income from this endowment fund is being used to fully fund bursary places for boys or girls, who uphold the values that underpinned Guy's life and work and have the potential to make the most of the all-round education at College.
This fund has benefitted from match funding of £500,000, thanks to the wonderful generosity of one former member of Leconfield.
Thanks to the remarkable response of the College community, we have been able to raise over £1milion for the Guy Dodd Bursary.
The first recipient of the Guy Dodd Bursary joined College in Year 12 this year and is a keen student who engages with all aspects of College life, and with a particular passion for maths and music.
In order to ensure that this bursary can continue to enable bright young students to access a College education, we rely on gifts of all sizes.
