Information Regarding Applications
An Academic Scholarship is a financial bursary awarded by the College to a student who is achieving significantly high and consistent results in their studies. To determine each individual student academic level, applicants will sit an examination which will provide data to the College, along with current school reports, as to the suitability of individuals to be offered an Academic Scholarship. The bursary is given to the student in the form of a discount on their annual tuition fees.
Academic Scholarships are available for students entering Years 7, 9 or 11 for a period of two academic years. Academic Scholarships are open to all students, including those students already attending Prince of Peace Lutheran College and those not currently enrolled at the College, but wishing to be.

Students should be able to demonstrate a high level of achievement in all major curriculum areas including English, Mathematics, Science and the Humanities.
