A big thank you

"The Scholarship and Bursary Advisory Centre were extremely helpful at a time when we were worried about the 13+ transition from prep school to senior school for our son."

"We knew the school we wanted and the right award for our child but felt daunted by the whole process of applying for a bursary at our chosen school."

"The educational consultant helped us to feel comfortable asking for financial assistance and helped us to understand the whole process, including the application."

"Our child received his award but had he not, we knew that The Scholarship and Bursary Advisory Centre would be ready to help with approaching other schools."

"A big thank you."

"I found my consultation with The Scholarship and Bursary Advisory Centre to be extremely helpful. Originally, I knew nothing about applying for scholarships and bursaries, but I was guided through the whole process with genuine interest and enthusiasm."

"As a result, both my daughters have now won extensive scholarships and bursaries to the school of our choice and are very happy."

"Thanks to The Scholarship and Bursary Advisory Centre, I now feel I have the knowledge and confidence to go on and apply for any future awards."

My children will thank you in years to come

“Sally's advice and guidance enabled me to keep my children at their independent school when circumstances beyond my control dictated that the only option would be to withdraw them."

"Thanks, Sally, for helping me climb a virtual mountain when all the odds seemed stacked against me. My children will thank you in years to come.”

I was very happy with the consultation

“I was very happy with the consultation and would not hesitate to recommend the service to anybody wanting advice on educational choices.

"My consultant's preparation before I arrived for our meeting was superb. She had researched the schools I was looking at thoroughly, enabling her to give me the advice and the confidence I needed to apply for an award for my son."

I successfully achieved a substantial bursary for both my children

“Before I discovered The Scholarship and Bursary Advisory Centre, I knew nothing about scholarships and bursaries. I never thought for a moment that I would even be able to consider sending my children to private school - it felt completely unattainable."

"But I spoke to a consultant at The Scholarship and Bursary Advisory Centre who enlightened me that this actually could be a possibility by pursuing the route of scholarships and bursaries. On her advice I looked into this and with her help and knowledge and experience of the necessary paperwork and procedures, I successfully achieved a substantial bursary for my daughter. When I came to repeat the process for my son, I was able to use the skills I had learned and apply them again and was fortunate to be successful a second time."

If Sally can't help you find the best opportunity for your child, then I doubt anyone else can!"

"I have known Sally MacDonald, founder and director of The Scholarship and Bursary Advisory Centre, for many years and have been really impressed by her very thorough knowledge and understanding of independent schools and the various ways of accessing significant scholarships and bursaries to gain entry to these schools.”

“Sally has spent a great deal of time investigating schools including their strengths and suitability for children of different abilities and talents. She also understands the best ways of approaching and communicating with the schools, the right times to apply and how to go about researching the many possibilities which are on offer.”

“If Sally can't help you find the best opportunity for your child, then I doubt anyone else can!"
