Scholarships
MGGS encourages academic excellence and diversity. To support this, we offer a number of academic, music and boarding scholarships each year.
Individuals are assessed based on performance in an academic examination conducted by Academic Assessment Services, audition (music only) and interview with the Principal.
Scholarships (other than the Boarding Scholarships) cover academic tuition fees for the student’s entire schooling, subject to the student’s commitment to her educational priorities and to MGGS’ vision and values namely: Courage, Integrity, Compassion and Self-discipline.
Scholarships do not cover additional costs such as uniforms, textbooks and equipment, camps and excursions or any other co-curricular activities such as music and sporting lessons, unless specified. Normal enrolment fees apply.
In all instances, candidates must sit the appropriate examination and should register online to receive important information regarding submission deadlines, examination dates and results announcements. A single registration fee covers all scholarships for which a candidate is eligible.
The Scholarships Program has now concluded for 2018.
Registrations for 2019 entry will commence in the second half of 2017.
