One of the most significant contributions of the Old Scholars Association (OSA) to St Hilda\u2019s is its scholarship program. Daughters, granddaughters and great-granddaughters of financial OSA members are eligible to apply.<\/p>\r\n
The OSA awards a scholarship to a student entering the Senior School in Year 7 whose mother, grandmother or great-grandmother is a financial member of the Association. The OSA Entrance Scholarship is intended for a girl who can demonstrate academic ability and a strong capacity for involvement in school life.<\/p>\r\n
The scholarship is tenable for Years 7 to 10, subject to satisfactory academic progress and contribution to the School. It is offered as a fixed financial amount each year, approximating one term of fees.<\/p>"}]},{"acf_fc_layout":"centred_panel","background_colour":"white","heading":"2027 Scholarships and Bursaries","blurb":"
