Scholarships

 

Scholarship Applications for 2026 are now closed. We will advise when Applications open for 2027.

We offer a range of Scholarships to celebrate talented students. Macquarie Scholarships are intended for students who are high-achieving, well-rounded, self-motivated leaders who will make a significant positive contribution to the Macquarie community. Scholarships are awarded the following categories:

  • Academic – awarded to students who demonstrate exceptional results in the scholarship examination.
  • Music – awarded to students who demonstrate exceptional musical skill in the area of voice, instrument or music composition.
  • Sport – awarded to students with exceptional skill in a particular sporting domain.
  • Access – awarded to students who would not otherwise be able to experience a Macquarie education. This scholarship is means-tested.

Scholarships provide partial remission in tuition fees for the duration of schooling at Macquarie. Scholarships must be applied for 18 months prior to a student’s commencement into Year 7 or Year 10.
