TOWER SCHOLARSHIP
Equity
Applications are open year-round.
Equity
Equity Scholarships are designed to support families who require financial assistance and who understand and prioritise the benefit of receiving a quality, independent education.
General
We are passionate about supporting worthy students, who cannot afford the full tuition fees, to benefit from the extraordinary education offered at our College.
Boarding
We are proud to support regional rural families in their educational journeys. We understand that the tyranny of distance can limit access to quality education. Economic challenges and natural disasters, such as drought, can end boarding traditions that may span generations and where possible, we prevent this from happening.
"Back in 1944, Principal Shann started at College and commented on the students being 'so well balanced and sensible'. We are proud that we continue to follow this line of education, where we seek the best for and from every student. We feel passionate that this opportunity should be available to students who cannot afford the fees but who demonstrate the College values."
