Bursaries and financial assistance
Bursaries are open to all current students to help families in need with paying their son's fees.
In all cases, the financial circumstances of the family are taken into consideration. Applications can be made in confidence to the Headmaster.
Bursaries from the WA Gardner Bequest were set up to support the enrolment of sons and grandsons of Old Scotch Collegians and cover the whole or part of the tuition of students who would otherwise be unable to attend the school.
A former member of the teaching staff, W A Gardner made a bequest in 1968 to establish the fund that currently supports families at the school.
Application forms may be obtained by applying in writing to the Chief Financial Officer’s Personal Assistant, Scotch College, PO Box 223, Claremont WA 6910 or by emailing bernadette.boisen@scotch.wa.edu.au.
