MCCF is a separate charity, whose funds were donated historically by Old Marlburians.  The charity is administered by trustees linked to the Marlburian Club.  The charity supports a number of prizes and grants to Old Marlburians and staff of Marlborough College.  However the majority of the funding granted is for bursaries, particularly for OM families who cannot afford the fees to send their children to Marlborough.  MCCF funds a number of bursaries every year.

Steven Bishop (PR 1969-73), the Chair of MCCF and a trustee of the Marlborough College Foundation, said “the MCCF plays an important role in supporting both the College and Old Marlburians.  We are delighted to be a partner in this Campaign by supporting bursary pupils at the College and I hope, together, we are able to help many more future Marlburians”.
