A Scholarship at Glenaeon represents an opportunity of a lifetime. Students and families benefit from the opportunity to experience the unique qualities of a Glenaeon education, and the school benefits by attracting students of potential and character to be part of our community.

The number of Scholarships offered varies from year to year. A Scholarship provides tuition fee relief, either in part, or full, but does not include the Class Activity Fee, co-curricular fees or other curriculum related fees which are payable.

All scholarship students will have their progress reviewed annually.

Please note that scholarship applications for 2025 have now closed.

Scholarship applications for 2026 open October 14, 2024.

Closing date for 2026 scholarships is February 28, 2025.

The awarding of a Scholarship will be based on:

• the merit of a written application
• an academic school-developed assessment (Year 7 only)
• an interview.

The school assessment for Year 7 entry is held in May and June each year, with interviews and auditions being conducted throughout June. The results and award of the scholarships are be communicated to applicants in writing by the end of June.

Awarding of Scholarships is at the Head of School’s discretion. All details of applications and the award of scholarships are held in strictest confidence.

Generous donors to the Glenaeon Foundation Scholarship Fund enable Glenaeon School to provide a means-tested Scholarship to students who could otherwise not afford to attend the school.

This scholarship reflects the legacy of our school’s founder Sylvia Brose OAM, and we seek applicants who can commit with enthusiasm to the Glenaeon ethos of inspired learning, artistic sensibility and service to others.
