Scholarships

Scotch College Adelaide values student excellence and diversity and seeks to recognise this through the provision of a number of scholarships each year.

Scholarships are awarded to encourage and recognise meritorious achievement and potential. Scholarships are offered at different year levels based on the assessment of specific criteria. Candidates are welcome to submit applications for more than one scholarship. However, if successful with more than one application, only the highest percentage awarded for an individual scholarship will be applied to the fee.

Year 7-11 Entry Academic Scholarship applications are now closed

In most cases, scholarships at Scotch are from 25% remission of tuition fees for the duration of enrolment (except for the Personal Endeavour Scholarship which is 3 years duration). To view the full College fee schedule, please visit the fees page of this website. Scholarships do not include the one-off admission fee, payable on confirmation of enrolment into the College.

Please review the Scholarships currently on offer below. Applications are made online by clicking the red “Apply Now” button on this page.

While scholarship applications are currently closed, we invite students interested in applying for a Scholarship commencing in 2025 to submit an expression of interest using the button below.

The expression of interest form is intended solely for scholarships commencing in 2025. For all other scholarships beginning in 2026, our next major round will commence in October.

Submit an Expression of Interest

During the online registration process, some documentation like school reports and NAPLAN results will need to be uploaded. After receipt of applications, applicants will be shortlisted. Only shortlisted applicants will be invited for interview, trial, or audition (in the case of Sport, Performing Arts, Music and Caledonian). Successful applicants will subsequently be offered a place in the College.

In lieu of a formal interview, Personal Endeavour applicants will be invited to attend a ‘Come & Try’ day at Scotch College Junior school wherein they will meet with the Head of Mitcham Campus, as well as participating in a classroom experience.

For Academic Scholarships, applicants will be required to pay an application fee to sit the Scotch College Scholarship examination administered by Academic Assessment Services. For all other Scholarships, successful applicants will be required to pay a $150 application fee plus $3100 enrolment fee ($2000 of which is redeemable against the first term’s school fees) to confirm their place. Applicants who are not shortlisted for interview will not be charged any fee.

Scholarship Requirements and Expectations

Scotch College Adelaide values quality applicants who show outstanding personal values, leadership potential, cultural awareness, moral integrity, service, high achievement, social and emotional intelligence, a global perspective and what they may contribute to the College. All scholarships are reviewed annually. All scholarship holders must meet several agreed expectations if they are to continue to receive the award.

For more details about the general expectations of ALL scholarship recipients and the additional specific expectations for each type of scholarship, please review this document prior to application.
