Senior Scholarships and Bursaries: QEH has given substantial financial help towards the education of its pupils in Bristol since its foundation in 1590.  The school is committed to broadening access by offering eligible parents/guardians means-tested financial support with school fees.  It continues to provide a first class education to its pupils, including children whose families would otherwise not be able to afford the fees. 

John Carr Academic Scholarships (up to 25% of fees): awarded based on a boy’s performance in the 11+ entrance exam. They are not means-tested and eligibility is based on performance in the entrance exam. Scholarships are available in a similar way at 13+. Every candidate who sits the entrance exam is automatically entered for an academic scholarship.

Music Scholarships: Scholarships are available for able musicians at  both 11+ and 13+.  

Sports Scholarships - Scholarships are available for boys at both 11+ and 13+. They are looking for boys with all round sporting ability and potential, and it is likely that they will play sport for a local club and may play at County or Avon Schools level.
