The Sliding Doors Foundation Scholarship

The Sliding Doors Foundation Scholarship
Through the generosity of The Sliding Doors Foundation, a new Scholarship has been established at Brighton Grammar School. The Scholarship will provide for a boy on a means-tested scholarship the opportunity to thrive both academically and as an active member of their community.

The successful applicant must be able to demonstrate that he would benefit from the opportunities that a Brighton Grammar School education would present and who in normal circumstances would not have the opportunity to attend the School.
