Scholarships and Awards
One of the Old Scholars Association’s (OSA) most important contributions to the School is its scholarship program. Daughters, granddaughters and great-granddaughters of financial members of the OSA are eligible for the OSA’s scholarships. There are two scholarships offered to students each year, namely the OSA Academic Scholarship and the OSA Ammonite Scholarship.
Scholarships
OSA SCHOLARSHIP (Year 7 Entry)
The Old Scholars Association awards a Scholarship to a student entering the School in Year 7, whose mother, grandmother or great grandmother are financial members of the Old Scholars Association. The OSA Entrance Scholarship is intended for a girl who can demonstrate academic ability and a strong capacity for involvement. The award of a Scholarship is tenable for Years 7 – 10, subject to satisfactory academic performance and contribution to school life.
Applications for the OSA Scholarship (Year 7 Entry) open each year in December.
OSA AMMONITE SCHOLARSHIP (Year 11 Entry)
The OSA Ammonite Scholarship provides support in Years 11 and 12 to a daughter, granddaughter or great-granddaughter of a financial member of the Old Scholars Association. This scholarship is a fixed financial amount per annum that approximates one term’s fees per year. The winner is determined by a panel of three Financial Members of the OSA based on a written application followed by an interview. This scholarship is intended to recognise a girl who is an all-rounder, rather than selecting a winner based solely on academic achievement.
Applications for the OSA Ammonite Scholarship (Year 11 Entry) open each year in September.

OSA Career Accelerator Program Scholarship
The Career Accelerator Program has been designed to bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world application. Fast-tracking careers by partnering with leading corporate organisations, creating an unparalleled experience that immerses hands-on learning, fosters problem-solving abilities, and connects with influential mentors.
The comprehensive curriculum includes modules dedicated to developing a work portfolio, honing interview strategies, building personal branding and receiving indispensable advice on career and networking opportunities.
These OSA scholarships are open to members of the OSA who are in their final year or midway through their undergraduate degree. Each scholarship covers the cost of participating in this Career Accelerator Program.
Please Note: The OSA Finance Committee reviews the value of all scholarships on an annual basis and if necessary, makes recommendations for change to the OSA committee.
