Lancing Foundationers Campaign

The campaign, 'Lancing Foundationers: Bursaries That Change Lives' , has raised over £6.3 million towards bursaries for young people from challenging social and economic backgrounds and has supported 34 pupils since 2017. It continues in 2025, with the goal of supporting a further 39 places and a total target of £10.5 million. The Campaign is supported by OLs, current and former parents and staff, and other valued friends. The College also contributes £16,000 per year for each Foundationer. This is truly a community-wide effort and serves as a model for schools across the country.

IMPACT REPORT 2023

Lancing has a long history of providing bursaries to students who would not otherwise have a chance to receive the kind of education that Lancing offers. In independent research carried out with OLs and parents in 2021, transformative bursaries were still identified as the key area for support. The success of the campaign so far has demonstrated the strong desire to ensure that the benefits of a Lancing education are made more widely available. We select pupils from a wide variety of schools, both local and national, and they join in the Third Form, Fourth Form and also the Sixth Form. The achievements of the programme are shared with our partners - the Royal National SpringBoard Children's Foundation, East Side Young Leaders' Academy, Trinity School in Lewisham and Highfield & Brookham Schools. Learn more about those who have already gone through the programme by reading our OL Foundationer Case Studies.
