Fettes Foundation
The Fettes Foundation was formed in 1998 to raise philanthropic income for the benefit of Fettes and its pupils.
Since then, the Foundation has received donations from over 2,400 generous donors to support the provision of bursaries, a number of capital developments and other key projects.
Donations from our engaged community of Old Fettesians, parents and friends of Fettes transform the lives of pupils who come to Fettes and will continue to do so for generations.
Thank you to everyone who has helped the Foundation to achieve its aims over the past two decades.
Bursaries at Fettes
Guided by the founding ethos of Sir William Fettes, we remain committed to awarding bursaries. We are deeply grateful to those who help provide the wide array of stimulating opportunities that a Fettes education offers to ambitious children from low income backgrounds. Like all Fettesians, our bursary students will leave the College knowing that they can achieve whatever they set out to, with a very real understanding of what a privilege their education has been. Those who support bursaries will know that they are helping to nurture the many talents of these students and set the strongest possible foundation for their respective futures.
