We are excited to announce that the Dukes Foundation is embarking on a groundbreaking initiative to become the largest provider of transformational bursaries in the UK.

We aim to raise investment to support young people from low-income backgrounds by enabling them to access the extraordinary opportunities Dukes Education schools and colleges offer. Education serves as a powerful catalyst to break the cycle of unequal opportunities and empower individuals, while creating socially diverse environments in our settings where everyone can benefit from being part of a deeper and wider talent pool.

Imagine a world where…

• Ability and potential – not affordability – defines who benefits from world-class teaching, outstanding pastoral care, and a network of peers that can shape worldview and ambition.
• We can create the most diverse, dynamic, and talented peer group possible.
• Brilliant young minds are able to close the gap and succeed to their highest potential.
• Young people, destined to lead can go on to bring diversity of thought to influence change and shape the decisions made in the boardrooms of future generations.

By investing in education, we can unlock the potential of countless young people, stimulate economic growth, fortify communities, and build a more equitable society. This initiative is not merely an act of charity but a strategic investment in the future.

If you are interested joining this pivotal initiative : to enrich every classroom and transform disadvantaged children’s futures, we’d love to hear from you.
