Wesley’s substantial scholarship provision provides opportunities for talented students who are enthusiastic to learn and reach their full potential while contributing to college life.
Each year, a wide range of scholarships are awarded to students who demonstrate not only academic excellence but also achievement in one or more of sport, music, performance, visual art, community service and leadership.
Wesley scholarships are highly sought after. They are offered on merit to outstanding students, with the number and value of scholarships determined by the applicants’ ability to meet or exceed the scholarship criteria and the availability of places. Typically, scholarships are awarded at least at 50 per cent reduction in tuition fees for the duration of the student’s time at the College.
