Scholarship Program

The Nudgee College Scholarship Program offers a partial reduction in College tuition and/or boarding fees, to assist families who wish their sons to benefit from a Nudgee College education. A number of scholarships will be available in 2010 to new students entering Years 8–11.

How do I apply?

Scholarship applications are accepted in two ways:

Formal Examination - This is achieved via the Australian Council for Education Research's (ACER) scholarship programs. This includes The Co-operative Scholarship Test Program (CSTP) for students entering Years 8, 9, 10 and 11 in 2011.
Submission of Detailed Curriculum Vitae - This option specifically applies to young men at an elite academic, sporting and cultural level as well as young men who have demonstrated exceptional service to the community, wishing to gain entry into Nudgee College. Submissions are assessed on a case by case basis.
Submissions should be addressed to:

Enrolments Officer
St Joseph's Nudgee College
PO Box 130, Virginia, Q 4014

Submissions will be accepted throughout the year. Each submission should include full details of your son's achievements in his area of expertise, together with the latest copy of his school report.

Invitation for Interview

Short-listed candidates will be required to attend an interview, along with their parent(s)/guardian(s). Some applicants may be asked to complete further assessment tests.

How long does a scholarship last?

The term of a Scholarship will be negotiated with families and will be dependent on the year of entry.

If I am awarded a scholarship, what is expected of me?

Scholarship recipients will be expected to lead by example in both their studies and extra-curricular activities. End of semester interviews will be undertaken by a Senior member of staff with all Scholarship recipients. Unsatisfactory performance could result in the cancellation of the Scholarship offer. Scholarship recipients will be expected to show continued commitment to Nudgee College's motto - 'Signum Fidei' - to be a Sign of Faith.

What doesn't a scholarship cover?

Scholarships do not cover normal schooling expenses such as books, uniforms, excursions, sporting equipment, ancillary fees, and so on.

Final Decision

The decision to interview, the level of financial assistance and the offer of a Scholarship rests with the Principal. No further correspondence will be entered into.

Equity Bursaries

These bursaries aim to cater for students whose particular family circumstances would otherwise prevent them attending Nudgee College. Recommendations for these Bursaries must be submitted through a Parish Priest or School Principal.
