Applications for 2026 entry are now closed. Applications for Year 7 – 11 entry in 2027 will open in mid-2026. 

General Excellence Scholarships support students of exemplary work ethic and good character who would not otherwise be able to attend Melbourne Grammar School without the benefit of a scholarship. 

Specific conditions may apply for each scholarship, however, generally these scholarships are for students who demonstrate: 

  • the ability to make a positive and significant contribution to the life of the School
  • an exemplary work ethic
  • academic potential
  • exceptional sporting promise in an APS sport
  • community mindedness in the form of leadership and service
  • they would not otherwise be able to attend the School without the financial support of a scholarship 

These scholarships are available for new day students and new boarders, with the remission amount varying to cover partial tuition and/or boarding fees based on family need, the applicant, and the availability of scholarships each year.
