Scholarships

St Kevin’s College offers a range of scholarships that recognise outstanding ability and potential across different areas, as well as supporting students whose individual circumstances may benefit from assistance. We encourage applications from boys who are eager to contribute to the life of the College and make the most of the opportunities available.

Scholarships are awarded on merit, with the number of places offered each year determined by the strength of the applicant pool and the availability of positions.

Applicants must be Australian citizens or permanent residents to be eligible.

Scholarship application periods vary across the year depending on the scholarship category. We strongly encourage families to apply as early as possible.
