Supporting the School
Old Stoic Bursary Awards
These awards are intended to assist members whose children or grandchildren would not otherwise have the opportunity of a Stowe education.
Old Stoic Gap Year Awards
Awards are made annually to Stoics in the upper sixth form, totaling £4,000. The funds are divided among the worthy beneficiaries at the discretion of the interview panel, which is usually made up of three or four Committee members and the master in charge of Gap Years. The aim of this award is to encourage Stoics to take full advantage of their gap years.
The Sir Nicholas Winton Goblet for Community Service
A prize presented on Speech Day to the Stoic who, during the year, has made the most outstanding contribution to the School's reputation.

Old Stoics as individuals or in teams give interview training to all members of the Upper Sixth; participate in Lower Sixth careers' conferences; provide work experience placements for Fifth Formers after GCSEs, and are on hand to give advice on almost any career area
Extra-curricular Activity
Old Stoics are frequent speakers at meetings of Stowe's numerous academic and debating Societies, Crossfire, Lenten Addresses and Confirmation retreats
