Raayaan Ravasia will be attending NYU, he is a boarder who joined Millfield in Year 10. He said, "I came to Millfield for several reasons, the biggest being the diversity in the student body.

Ben Harcourt-Harrison will be attending Marquette University on a football and academic scholarship. Ben, who is a boarder, has enjoyed his time on the Millfield football programme since joining Lower Sixth.

Studying in the US is a good option for me so that I can continue with high-level coaching. The football programme offers fantastic coaching, playing opportunities, and facilities. Millfield is a one-off experience, and it has developed me as a person and has made me more prepared for real life."

Gbemiga Adeboye is a boarder who joined Millfield in Lower Sixth and will be attending St. Bonaventure University, New York. He received a rugby and academic scholarship.
