Scholarship and Boarding Bursaries
Scholarship and Boarding Bursaries Introduction
The King's School is fortunate to be able to offer a range of scholarships and bursaries for entry to Years 7 - 11. Many of these awards have been established during the School's history as a result of the generosity of parents, friends, associated organisations and bequests. The majority of Scholarships are awarded for entry into Year 7 although other entry levels are also available. Up to 30 scholarships may be awarded in any year.
Applications for Scholarships
Applications for Scholarships may be made at any stage of the year, but the majority of awards are offered following the Scholarships Assessment Examinations and Interviews which are held between December and February for boys to enter Year 7 12 months later (ie for Year Year 5 /6 boys) Examinations are conducted by the EduTest organisation based in Melbourne (www.edutest.com.au). A number of Scholarships to attend The King's School are also means-tested and require submission of confidential information to the Bursar.
Scholarships
Scholarships have an academic focus. The primary criteria for an award is the result of a competitive examination conducted by an independent testing organization.
