HIGHGATE SCHOOL
The Joshua Dorgu Foundation was established by the Dorgu family. Among its initiatives is a 16+ bursary for a Black pupil from a low-income household to study at Highgate School. In September 2023, we welcomed the first bursary recipient, and we are pleased to announce funding for a second place for September 2025.
To be eligible, applicants must meet both the Joshua Dorgu Foundation’s and Highgate’s 16+ bursary criteria, and they must be willing to engage with the Foundation, which offers valuable support and career mentoring.
Applications should be submitted to both the Foundation and Highgate 16+, indicating a bursary application.
