Gifts to the Bursary Scheme reach £900,000

Johnians will remember that the Master wrote to them in November last year announcing the magnificent benefaction from Nick Corfield (BA 1981, Honorary Fellow 2001) of £1m to set up a Matching Programme for Bursaries.  Under the matching programme, donations to the College for the Bursary Scheme will be matched £ for £ until the £1,000,000 fund is exhausted.

We are delighted to announce that since the launch of this programme, we have received just over £900,000, generating a matching total of £1,800,000.  It is our aim to reach the £1m mark by Christmas and we hope that those of you who have not yet given will be encouraged and inspired to support.
