Who can apply for a Boarding Scholarship?

Our Boarding Scholarships celebrate students of strong character who come from rural, regional, and interstate locations across Australia.

Successful Boarding Scholarship candidates demonstrate the following: 

  • the ability to make a positive and significant contribution to the life of the School and above all to boarding
  • an exemplary work ethic
  • academic potential
  • strong co-curricular engagement
  • they would not otherwise be able to attend the School as a boarder without the financial support of a scholarship 

Ideally, students will enter the School at Year 7 or Year 9, but applications are also welcomed for entry to Years 8, 10, and 11, subject to availability.

Eligibility

You are eligible to apply for a boarding scholarship if: 

  • you live regionally, rurally, or interstate (outside the Melbourne metropolitan area)
  • you understand that the structure of boarding at Melbourne Grammar School is a full-time offering, meaning students are generally expected to remain in the boarding house over weekends
