Scholarships, Bursaries and Financial Support

Scholarships, bursaries and financial support are made available each year to students enrolling in Years 7 to 12. Preference is given to those applicants who would greatly benefit from a St Luke’s education, but are unable to attend without help and financial assistance.

Overview

St Luke’s Anglican School is committed to providing outstanding educational opportunities for new and existing students who demonstrate excellence in their standard of achievement.

We offer a range of academic and specialist scholarships for students entering Middle (Years 7 – 9) and Senior (Years 10 – 12) School.  Successful scholarship recipients will receive a discount on part of the tuition fees. As St Luke's tuition is a fully-inclusive fee structure, with student's education contained within the tuition fees, all awarded scholarships are required to cover the normal costs associated with a student's education but do not include enrolment fees and deposits, capital levies, text book and uniform purchases. 


Scholarships are available in the following areas:

  • Academic
  • All-Round Ability
  • Performing Arts
  • Sporting Performance


All applicants (Academic and Specialist) require a student to maintain high levels of:

  • Support of the ethos of St Luke’s Anglican School
  • Positive contribution to the co-curricular life of the School
  • Abiding by school rules, regulations and expectations


Further information about how to apply and specific conditions relating to each scholarship is listed below.
