Goulburn Valley Grammar School Refugee Scholarship
The Goulburn Valley Grammar School has, since foundation, sought to welcome students who would benefit from education at the school regardless of their personal circumstances. For many years, the School has offered scholarships and in 2012 the School Board formally introduced the Social Justice Scholarship programme for Aboriginal and Refugee students. These scholarships were established to provide educational opportunities for students who demonstrate the potential to derive substantial benefit and lead both in the school and wider community. The first of these scholarships commenced in 2013.
Applications are now open for the Social Justice Scholarship (Refugee) commencing in Year 7 20254.
This Scholarship will cover all compulsory school fees for Years 7 to 12. This includes Tuition Fee, Capital Charge and Fixed Charge. The Scholarship also includes the cost of year level camps, computer and technology provisions, sporting facilities and equipment, the school diary and school magazine.
Parents are expected to pay for textbooks, school uniform, travel expenses and other optional items not covered by fees. Books and uniform would be comparable with other local schools and together would cost approximately $1700.00. Extra assistance will be provided if required. The uniform should last for a few years before replacements are required.
An application form for the scholarship is attached and this can also be downloaded from the school website. Completed applications must be received by the school by 4:30pm on Friday 15th March 2023.
On Friday 8th March the School is holding its Open Day and interested families are encouraged to visit on that day to learn more about the school. Open Day starts at 11.00 am and concludes at 2.00 pm. The last School Tour departs Founders Hall at 12.25pm. Interested persons may pre-register for the Open Day on this page.
