VCE Academic Scholarships

An exceptional pathway for exceptional students

Applications close THURSDAY 30 JULY!

About the Scholarship

The VCE Academic Scholarships have been designed to attract high-performing academic, ambitious and values-aligned students into our Senior School community.

Scholarships are available for new students entering Year 10 or Year 11 in 2027. Applicants must be Australian Citizens or Permanent Residents to be eligible. 

An optional means-tested component is available for all applicants. A family's financial situation will be carefully considered, and greater weight is given to candidates for whom the scholarship would have a significant positive impact.

For those wishing to be considered for means-testing, families will need to email scholarships@stmichaels.vic.edu.au to request the following information to provide to the School directly:

• A completed copy of the St Michael’s Scholarship Financial Statement (in excel format) which requires detailed information about the family’s income and expenses (this will be provided separately for those wishing to be considered under this additional criteria)
• The last 2 full tax returns of both parents (not just the Notice of Assessments), as well as details/returns of any trusts you may be a member of (if applicable).

All financial information provided will be treated in the strictest confidence, used solely for the purpose of assessing the scholarship application and deleted when the program is finalised. Families will be provided with a secure link to upload documents directly to St Michael’s Grammar School.

Applicants must attend a St Michael’s tour or Open Morning prior to being invited to interview. Those who have not yet toured St Michael’s at the time of applying are strongly encouraged to attend our Term 3 Open Morning on Tuesday 18 August 2026 or another Small Group Tour before the end of August.
