About the Award #
Our Principal’s Scholarships aim to assist families in transitioning to the College and to encourage students to achieve their best. The objectives of the scholarship are to:
- promote excellence in Christian education among students of the College
- provide an opportunity for high-achieving students who might otherwise financially find themselves unable to pursue their studies in a Christian school, and
- lift the profile of the College as an educational institution that encourages the best in all students.
The scholarship is usually awarded in the form of a 40% reduction of the base tuition fee per year and is deducted from the annual College fees.
