Scholarships

Year 7, Year 10 or Year 11 entry (Means-Tested)

The Foundation Scholarship is means-tested and fully covers tuition fees. Funding for the scholarship is provided by members of our school community who wish to give the opportunity of a Roseville College education to a student who would otherwise not have the means to attend the College. It is therefore open only to new students, who will be entering Year 7, Year 10 or Year 11, in 2027.

The remission of tuition fees will be maintained until the completion of Year 12, subject to satisfactory academic progress and exemplary behaviour, as determined by an annual review.
