Providing St. Paul’s scholarships for talented children

Having provided outstanding English-based education in the heart of São Paulo for almost a century, St. Paul’s School has established a firm reputation as a place where strong tradition and innovation combine to allow its pupils to flourish on the global stage.

Established in 2008 as the institution responsible for St. Paul’s School’s Full Scholarship Programme, the St. Paul’s Foundation introduced a structured and active selection process in 2018.

The foundation's mission is to transform our scholars’ lives with a world-class education giving them access to an excellent curriculum, and outstanding pastoral support, within a safe and nurturing environment. Whilst our scholars will receive all of the advantages that St. Paul’s has to offer, they will in turn enrich the school environment with their perspectives on life and achievements.

We aim to award full scholarships for talented children living in São Paulo, who have excellent academic records and the grit and determination to excel, to study at St. Paul’s School. We are also proud to define “talented" in the broadest manner, be it in academic subjects, sports, music or the arts. We also aim to support them to enter a university of excellence in Brazil or overseas, giving them the opportunity to make a significant contribution to their communities and the wider Brazil.

The St. Paul’s Foundation has impacted the lives of approximately 900 families and awarded over 60 full scholarships. Today, the Foundation’s alumni can be found in countries such as Brazil, Canada, England, Germany and the United States.
