BURSARY SCHEME  print this page 

Somerset House Primary School and Vergelegen Bursary Scheme for the benefit of previously disadvantaged children.

Vergelegen has agreed to donate a barrel of its top red wine (at cost) every year for the next eight years to fund bursaries to Somerset House for local children from previously disadvantaged backgrounds.

Somerset House is initiating the bursary scheme by providing a bursary for a child from a previously disadvantaged background to attend its school from Grade 8 to Grade 12.

The criteria for application for the bursary are:

  • grade 6 academic results must be within the upper 25% of the school currently being attended;
  • the applicant should have a keen sporting interest;
  • the applicant needs to reside locally (transport to and from school is not included in the bursary).
