Secondary schooling scholarships are now open for applications through the Department of Education. 

A range of scholarships are on offer, including scholarships for students who: 

•  attend a country school; or 

•  attend a Perth public school; or 

•  live in the Fremantle area; or 

•  attend Cannington Community College, Kent St SHS or Como Secondary College. 

Department of Education scholarships support studies in all years of secondary school, with most open to students currently completing Year 10 or 11 who intend to complete the WACE. In addition, students currently in Years 6 to 9 may be eligible for one of the two specific scholarships below:

• James and Rose Coombe Scholarships for regional and remote students.  A number of these scholarships are available each year and successful applicants can reapply in subsequent years.  The funding amount starts at $1,000. 

• Maud Zervos Education Grants for students with a parent/caregiver who has a disability related to spinal or limb paralysis or limb loss.  A 'rollover clause' in this scholarship makes funding available for every year of secondary study, subject to satisfactory progress.  The funding amount starts at $750 in lower secondary and rises to $1 000 for upper secondary studies. 

Applications for our scholarships close at 5.30pm on Thursday, 10 December 2020.
