Wesley College is committed to nurturing the growth of exceptional students who are eager to learn, excel and contribute to our vibrant community.
All Wesley College scholarships balance both merit and means, recognising students' existing talents, achievements, academic performance and demonstration of strength of character.
Given the financial commitment of a Wesley education, our generous means-tested scholarship component is informed by the personal and financial circumstances of families shared through the scholarship application process.
Scholarships typically provide a 25 – 80 per cent reduction in tuition fees and, if applicable, are scaled for means. All scholarships last for the duration of the student’s time at the College. The number and value of scholarships are determined by the applicants’ ability to meet or exceed the scholarship criteria, assessment of the means component, and the availability of places.
Academic and General Excellence Scholarships for 2026 are now closed and will open for 2027 entry in late 2025.
