Academic Scholarships
At Redfield College, we are committed to empowering our students to excel academically and personally. Our scholarship program is designed to recognise and support outstanding students who embody our values and contribute positively to our school community.
At this time, Redfield College is not offering academic scholarships for entry in 2027.
Redfield periodically reviews its scholarship program to ensure it aligns with the needs of the College and our students. While scholarships are not available for the 2027 intake, the information below outlines the academic scholarship process, criteria, and expectations that apply when the program is offered in future years.
When academic scholarships are available, they are awarded at the discretion of the Headmaster and may be offered to students entering Year 7, whether they are existing or new to Redfield.
The Academic Scholarships typically cover:
- Annual tuition fees up to the completion of Year 12
- Curriculum Technology Levy (CTL), which includes provision of the student’s electronic device
Families are welcome to review the information below to understand how the scholarship program operates and what may be required should applications reopen in a future year.
