The London Fee Assistance Consortium (LFAC) is a collective of independent schools in and around London working together to raise awareness of financial support for education. The consortium’s primary aim is to highlight the availability of bursaries and fee assistance to parents who might otherwise assume independent education is unaffordable. By demystifying the application process and promoting "free or subsidised places," LFAC seeks to widen access for high-achieving children from diverse economic backgrounds. Members include high-profile schools such as Dulwich College, St Paul’s, and Highgate.
