The Hamilton and Alexandra College Scholarships

We are proud of our broad scholarships program, which awards scholarships to students of character and potential who will make a significant contribution to the life of the school. 

The Hamilton and Alexandra College has a variety of scholarships available.

Ivy Scholarships

General Excellence

At The Hamilton and Alexandra College, we believe building students' confidence is the foundation for growth, achievement, and a life of possibilities.

Applications are now open for Years 4 to 12 General Excellence Scholarships, with substantial reductions in tuition and/or boarding for students starting in 2027 and 2028.

Applications are open and close on 12 April 2027.

Academic

Academic Ivy scholarships are awarded to students of exceptional academic promise. Applicants sit the EduTest exam hosted by a third-party educational assessment organisation. Ivy Scholarships are awarded based on the results of this testing and a review of current school reports.

2027 Applications are open and close on 22 February 2027.


Boarding

We understand that the tyranny of distance can limit access to quality education; Boarding Ivy Scholarships are awarded to students who want to join the Boarding House community and demonstrate the same traits as those required for the General Excellence Ivy Scholarship.

Applications are open and close on 12 April 2027.

Tower Scholarships

Tower Scholarships are equity scholarships designed to support families who require financial assistance and who understand and prioritise the benefit of receiving a quality independent education. 

The criteria for Tower Scholarships are similar to those for Ivy Scholarships, but the application includes the provision of family financial statements to the College.

Applications are open year-round.
