Charles La Trobe P-12 College wishes to share its collegiate pride and success with the community by offering scholarships that support our educational philosophy — that all students can strive, seek and excel in a particular field of endeavour.

 

Overview

Scholarships are open to new enrolments in Years 7–10 for 2027. Current students are not eligible — they may access the internal College Awards program. Scholarships are redeemable against school expenses including uniform, devices, extra-curriculum programs and books.
Students may apply for no more than two (2) scholarship categories, with only one amount awarded. All scholarships run for two years and reviewed annually. A scholarship may be withdrawn in the second year if a student does not uphold the College’s Vision and Values.
