College Scholarships
The College Scholarships are funded by ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú and are offered with the purpose of encouraging commitment, excellence, responsibility, and leadership. They are aligned with the ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú vision, reflecting the value we place on enlightened academic rigour, care for the whole child, and development of character.

Foundation Scholarships
ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú is a diverse, respectful and inclusive community, and this program is a commitment to our vision and values. Foundation Scholarships are funded by the ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú Foundation and are means-tested. They are available to families whose children are seeking entry to the Senior School (Years 7-11) and who otherwise would not be able to afford an ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú education, and to current ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú families who are in need to continue their enrolment.ÌýÌý
The amount of fee remission is determined on a case-by-case basis. Parents and carers must complete documentation summarising their financial affairs and provide reasons for the application for assistance. Documentation and discussions are treated with strict confidence.ÌýÌý
Although the key criterion is inability to meet the cost of tuition fees, the Foundation Committee will prioritise applications for students and families whose values align with those of the College, who demonstrate support for the College’s vision, and who will meaningfully contribute to the life and community of the College.ÌýÌý
Applications for 2025 are currently closed.Ìý
To apply:Ìý
- Parents must complete and return a Foundation Scholarship Financial Application. Ìý
- Submit copies of the student’s latest two school reports and NAPLAN and a completed ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú Scholarship Reference form, which includes a reference from a staff member at the student’s current school (or previous if the student is new to their current school).
