At Merchiston Castle School, we are deeply grateful for the generosity and continued support of our wider community. Philanthropy plays an important role in helping us to enrich the experience of our pupils and ensure that a Merchiston education can be accessed by talented young people, regardless of financial background.

Supporting Bursaries and Opportunity

Many of our supporters choose to contribute to our bursary fund, helping to open the door of opportunity to pupils who would not otherwise be able to join us. These gifts have a lasting impact, enabling life-changing access to a Merchiston education and all that it offers.

Giving to Projects and School Life

Alongside bursaries, donations can also support specific areas of school life. This may include investment in facilities, academic or co-curricular programmes, or particular initiatives that enhance the pupil experience across the School.

We are also grateful for support through sponsorship opportunities, such as sports kit, including our 1st XV strip, where contributions help to foster pride, identity and excellence within school teams.

Leaving a Legacy

Leaving a gift in your will is a meaningful way to ensure that future generations of pupils can benefit from a Merchiston education. Legacy giving helps to secure the long-term future of the School and strengthens our ability to support pupils for years to come.
