We look to OBs, friends and supporters to support our scholarship programme. (Please note that while a bursary is based on financial need, a scholarship is awarded on academic, artistic or sporting merit in a particular discipline). An active, accessible and varied scholarship programme does much to enhance the academic and cultural life of the school, but moreover it provide life changing opportunities for young people whatever their background. Awards are made for the duration of a school career and are reviewed each year to monitor progress. To fund our wide ranging scholarship programme Christ College draws on its own resources from a designated scholarship fund. This fund is for scholarships only and you can support it by clicking on the link below. If you wish to have a scholarship in your name e.g. the John Smith History scholar or the John Smith Rugby scholar please contact the Development Director who can talk through options with you. 

……..a few words on our scholarship programme from Mr Harry Mackridge, Deputy Head (Academic)

The provision of scholarships and bursaries lies at the heart of our academic mission here at Christ College Brecon. We are rightly proud of our academic successes in and beyond the classroom and, each year, seek to attract the very best local, national and international intellectual talent to benefit from a Christ College education whatever their background. As a school with numerous entry points there are a number of scholarship opportunities available at each stage of our community - all the way through from 11+ and 13+ to Sixth Form entry. Scholarships range in type and cover disciplines such as Art, Music, Drama, Science, All-rounder, Sport and general Academic.

There has never been a better time to be a Christ College Scholar with a revamped, bespoke scholar programme launching in September 2023 with junior, middle and senior school pathways provided to enhance the experience of our students. In conjunction with this programme, our historic Library is undergoing significant renovation and refurbishment ahead of the next academic year - it will act as the epicentre of the academic enrichment, engagement and scholarship at each stage of the scholar programme. Christ College is a forward-thinking, outward looking historic institution which takes great pride in the number of scholarship opportunities available in the academic and co-curricular sphere - but we need your support to continue and develop this programme'.
