Fees

Fees at the Royal Naval College were £75 per annum, not including the pocket money, travelling expenses and the cost of clothing. For sons of Army and Navy officers and civil officers under the Board of Admiralty in straitened circumstances the fee could be reduced to £40 per annum after considering the merits of the case. However, of the 588 cadets who had entered Osborne up to and including January, 1906, only 33 cadets had been entered at the reduced rate.

Closure

The college formally closed on 20 May, 1921.[1]

Captains of the College
