Scholarships	Scholarships The College offers a range of scholarships across academic, boarding, music/performing arts, and general excellence, funded by donors through the Prince Alfred College Foundation Scholarship Fund. There are many named scholarships (e.g., Brett Gooden Space Science Scholarship, Brett Williamson Scholarship, Indigenous Scholarships, and others) and additional information about donating or establishing a scholarship is available through the Foundation. Not all scholarships are offered every year; awarding depends on the number of students currently on a scholarship and whether a suitable candidate applies. Scholarships are usually awarded by the end of a student's schooling (Year 12) and the process for entry starts in the year prior to commencement. Scholarships may be awarded in two rounds: Round 1 opens in October and closes in January; Round 2 opens in June and closes in mid‑July, with interviews typically in August. Interviews are conducted by two members of the College Executive, and all applicants are informed of progress. Scholarships can be selected for General Excellence, Music/Performing Arts, Chess, or Boarding, and applicants do not need to apply for a specific named scholarship. Academic Scholarships are offered via the ACER examination for Year 5 and Year 7 applicants, and some scholarships (including Boarding) are awarded based on merit through a competitive process that may include testing, interviews, and references. In Year 7, up to three full Academic Scholarships are offered; other scholarships may be awarded up to 100% in Years 8–11. Most scholarships contribute a portion of the fees (commonly 50%; some 25%; some Academic Scholarships can be up to 100%), and they do not cover uniforms, textbooks, or other sundry charges. An acceptance fee of A$1,250 is required to accept a scholarship. Indigenous Scholarships are linked to The Smith Family's Indigenous Youth Leadership Program (IYLP), with applications typically closing in May; applicants should check with PAC Admissions before applying. Overseas applicants may apply if they hold Australian residency. Scholarships by age specify which options are available for entry years (e.g., Year 5 scholarships for Year 4 entrants; Year 7 scholarships for Year 6 entrants; and Year 8–11 scholarships for Year 7–10 entrants). The majority of information about scholarships, eligibility, and the application process is available through the Scholarship FAQs, the List of Scholarships, and the ACER Examinations guidance. For full details on each scholarship category, required documents, and timelines, see the Scholarships resources and the ACER examinations section.	Scholarships St Peter's College offers four types of scholarships: Academic, Boarding, General Excellence and Specialist Instrument. Scholarships provide fee remission and are subject to financial means testing. Boarding Scholarships are for students entering in Years 7–11 and provide remission of boarding fees and, in some cases, tuition fees; applications are open and close Friday 6 March 2026. General Excellence Scholarships are for students entering Years 9–11 and provide remission of tuition and, in some cases, boarding fees; applications for 2027 entry are open and close Friday 6 March 2026. Academic Scholarships are for current and prospective students entering Years 5 and 7; applicants sit the ACER Scholarship Examination and applications for 2026 and 2027 are closed. The Specialist Instrument Program, to be introduced in 2026, funds instrument tuition as a scholarship and is open to current students in Years 5–10 who are not already learning Tuba, Oboe or Bassoon; the first round of auditions is in Term 1, 2026. Enquiries about scholarships can be made via the form on the Scholarships page, and the Enrolments Team will follow up.
