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.

Calling all Old Scholar’s mid-way or nearing the end of a tertiary course that want help finessing their career pathway.
The St Hilda’s Old Scholars Association (OSA) is offering two scholarships to attend the Career Accelerator Programme at Scotch College on 29 June – 4 July 2025.
The Career Accelerator Programme has been designed to bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world application. It will demonstrate how to fast-track careers by partnering participants with leading corporate organisations, creating an unparalleled experience that immerses hands-on learning, fosters problem-solving abilities, and connects with influential mentors.
This 6-day residential (breakfast/lunch/dinner) program will provide participants with unique opportunities to work alongside industry professionals who are passionate about nurturing young talent. Transport, tuition and accommodation in the Scotch College Boarding House are included.
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.
The OSA scholarships are open to members of the OSA who are midway or in later years of their undergraduate course. Each scholarship is worth $2,500 and will directly cover the cost of participating in the Career Accelerator Programme.
If you believe you would benefit from the professional development, mentorship, and networking opportunities the program will provide, we invite you to apply for a scholarship by completing the application by downloading the application form here.
Applications for these scholarships will close on Thursday 17 April 2025.
