Scholarships can be submitted up until 11:59pm on the Sunday 14 January 2024. Unfortunately, if you miss the deadline for the scholarship, you will be ineligible for consideration in that round.

The Scholarship Committee meets on the first Wednesday in February. We aim to notify all applicants of the outcome of their application following this meeting.

You must submit proof of your GPA to be considered for any scholarship.
Unless otherwise specified, scholarships are awarded as a discount on your College fees. For example, if you receive a scholarship of $2,000, this will be applied as a $1,000 deduction to fees in both the first and second semester. If for any reason you withdraw from College, your scholarship cannot be paid out as cash.

Scholarship recipients are expected to write a letter of thanks to the provider of their scholarship, articulating the impact their support has had. The St Ann’s scholarship program is funded through the philanthropy and spirit of giving of our community, and our donors value hearing from the students they support. After you arrive at College, you will be provided with information about how to prepare and deliver this letter.

In keeping with our values, Scholarship recipients are expected to contribute to our safe, community minded, supportive, and friendly environment.
Successful recipients must write a letter to the Scholarship benefactor and the College Council before amounts can be deducted from residential fees.

Allow yourself time to revise and refine, getting rid of any information that is not relevant. It may seem obvious, but getting your spelling and grammar right is important. Choose a tense and stick with it.
