St Hilda’s offers a range of scholarships and bursaries for girls entering selected Year groups, including opportunities for students from Perth, regional and remote Western Australia.

Our scholarships recognise academic achievement, potential and strengths beyond the classroom, while our needs based bursaries help make a St Hilda’s education accessible to families where financial circumstances may otherwise be a barrier.

We consider the whole girl. Alongside academic achievement, we value curiosity, determination, contribution to the community and a willingness to embrace the opportunities available at St Hilda’s.

One scholarship test, up to three participating girls’ schools

St Hilda’s is proud to be part of the Independent Girls’ Schools Scholarship Cooperative, which creates a fair and transparent scholarship process for families while preserving the distinctive scholarship opportunities offered by each participating school.

Applicants sit the scholarship test once at their first preference school, with results shared among up to three participating independent girls’ schools.

This reduces the need for girls to sit multiple scholarship tests and provides families with a simpler, more consistent application process.
