Financial aid

French consulate

Parents of French pupils can apply for a means-tested bursary with the French Consulate General in London.

Applicants must:

  • be French citizens

  • be on the French consulate’s register

  • live with their family (mother and/or father) in the country in which the school is located

Please check the French consulate’s website for application deadlines, which may differ from CFBL’s registration deadlines.

The Consulate has put together an infographic to give you some indication of your potential eligibility, which you can find below.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the French consulate directly: social.londres-fslt@diplomatie.gouv.fr

French Scholarship Foundation

The French Scholarship Foundation (FSF) is a young and dynamic Registered Charity created in 2015 whose objective is to provide financial support for school fees to families facing temporary financial hardship. The FSF supports children of any nationality both at CFBL and LIL Winston Churchill.

Having recently benefited from a kind donation, FSF can now broaden its actions to help pupils continue their education in those schools.

Families from both schools with financial needs may submit an online application.

The Foundation handles all applications in an impartial and confidential manner. For more information on their financial assistance policy or for any questions, please check the FSF website
