SCHOLARSHIPS

Melbourne Girls Grammar encourages academic excellence and diversity.  To support this, we offer a number of academic, boarding and music scholarships each year.

Scholarships at Melbourne Girls Grammar

A leading girls’ school for more than 125 years, we celebrate diversity, identity and independence.

Our scholarship program provides opportunities for exceptional girls that are passionate about learning.

2019 scholarship registrations are now closed. Registrations for 2020 scholarships will open later this year.

Scholarship candidates are assessed based on their performance in an academic examination conducted by Academic Assessment Services, an audition (applicable to Music Scholarships only) and an interview with the Principal.

Recipients of scholarships who are committed to their education and the vision and values of Melbourne Girls Grammar – Courage, Integrity, Compassion and Self-discipline – will have their academic tuition fees paid for the entirety of their schooling.

Please note that 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.
