Part-funded scholarships
We are fortunate to be able to offer part-funded scholarships for students in Years 7, 8, 9 and 10, thanks to the generosity of individual donors and our St Mary’s community.
We are looking for self-aware, adaptable learners who will make the most of the academic and cocurricular opportunities at St Mary’s. These are students who will live our values of courage, respect, aspiration, compassion and integrity.
Our part-funded scholarships include:
- Spirit of St Mary’s scholarship – in memory of 2021 Head Girl, Sally Hicks
- Annual Giving Scholarship
- Individual donor-funded scholarships
The Scholarships are open to students who are Australian citizens or permanent residents and whose family can demonstrate that their financial circumstances prevent their daughter from attending St Mary’s. It is intended that the scholarship recipient will hold the scholarship for the duration of her schooling, unless her work or behaviour is not of the standard expected of all students at St Mary’s, in which case the scholarship may be rescinded.
The award does not cover boarding, the extra cost of some subjects, technology, textbooks and stationery, uniforms, musical instruments and tuition, camps and excursions and co-curricular activities. For details of these costs, please visit www.stmarys.wa.edu.au/enrol/st-marys-school-fees.
