Personal Endeavour Scholarships

The Personal Endeavour Scholarship recognises and encourages students who demonstrate a strong work ethic and consistently excel academically and in leadership.

Eligibility

To be eligible for a Personal Endeavour Scholarship at Scotch College Adelaide, applicants must be:

  • a new student entering into Year 4, 5 or 6, or
  • a current student entering into Year 4, 5 or 6

Applicants must be Australian or New Zealand citizens or holders of an Australian Permanent Resident Visa.

Applications for Excellence Scholarships open on Monday 12 October 2026.

Families applying for a Personal Endeavour Scholarship are required to complete both a Scotch College application form and a separate Edutest registration. To secure a place in the scholarship testing process, applicants must register directly with Edutest and pay the required testing fee. Scholarship applications cannot be accepted unless both the Scotch College Adelaide application form and the Edutest registration have been received by the closing date.

We encourage families to complete both steps as early as possible to avoid disappointment and ensure their application can be considered.

Selection Criteria

Student selection is based on consistently achieving high levels of academic excellence, engaging in the college community and demonstrating strong leadership skills.

All applicants will be required to complete the EduTest scholarship examination and will be invited to attend a Come and Try day, which is compulsory and part of the scholarship application process.
