A: There is no fee to apply for a scholarship at Quintilian School. 

Contact [email protected] .  Full T&Cs and information, as well as the application link, can be found on our school website.  

All records are stored securely and accessed only by authorised members of the Scholarship Committee. Privacy is maintained in line with the School’s Privacy Policy. 

Non-tuition expenses, such as camps, stationery, uniform, musical instrument hire or purchase, extra-curricular activities (except where specified for Arts Scholarship recipients) and any items not specifically listed in the Scholarship Letter of Offer.  

Families with total household income below $160,000pa (gross) are eligible to apply. This figure may be adjusted annually. Should an applicant be unsuccessful in receiving a scholarship award, but decide to apply for a full fee-paying place at Quintilian School, they may do so without penalty.  

Lodge the application form and supporting documents online via our website. Following a written application, shortlisted candidates will be invited for an interview (including audition for Arts Scholarship applicants). Their previous teacher will be contacted and students may be offered a short trial period at the school.  

Scholarships are awarded for the duration of the recipient’s primary education at Quintilian School. Continuation of a scholarship is subject to annual review, and requires ongoing exemplary conduct.  

You are welcome to apply for both types, simply select both in your application. However, only one scholarship type may be awarded to a recipient.  

Students entering Pre-Primary and above. For full information, see Overview/T&Cs.  

No, recipients will be individually notified via email or phone. They will not be publicly announced to the school community. Unsuccessful candidates will also be notified via email.  

Scholarship recipients are exempt from paying the student enrolment fee.  However, they are required to pay a student bond (refundable upon graduation from the School). If another sibling in the family is enrolling and is not in receipt of their own separate scholarship, the enrolment fee will be payable in full for this sibling.  Recipients are also required to pay the remaining portion of tuition fees (the portion that is not subsidised by the scholarship) each term or according to the agreed schedule. Should fees remain outstanding, the scholarship or the student’s enrolment may be revoked.  

Scholarship recipients are expected to be outstanding members of our school community. This may include: 

• Embodying the Quintilian School values 
• Maintaining strong academic progress, effort and engagement 
• Demonstrating outstanding behaviour and attitude 
• Maintaining an excellent attendance record 
• Demonstrating active involvement in the broader life of the school, such as attending outside-school events and participation in co-curricular programs 

Recipients will be required to participate in an annual review. In the case of unsatisfactory performance in any area, a scholarship may be revoked, or an Improvement Plan established. In the event that the recipient is unsuccessful in meeting the goals of the Improvement Plan, they will be provided one term’s notice prior to their scholarship being revoked.   

For upper primary applicants, the written submission and supporting documentation will be reviewed for evidence of applicant alignment with Quintilian Values. This may include student attitude, effort, and behaviour, as well as engagement with the non-academic aspects of school and community life.  For applicants in lower years, family alignment with Quintilian Values may also be considered (previous support for school boards, P&F, etc), as it is recognised that limited opportunities exist for young students to demonstrate their own civic engagement. 

Yes, but available Scholarship Awards are limited. Current families can also contact our Accounts team for payment options.  

Applications close on the last day of Term 2. Check our website for updates.  

Scholarships are assessed by the Scholarship Committee, consisting of the Principal, Deputy Principal, Registrar, Bursar, and other level leaders or staff as determined by the Principal based on the scholarships offered. The Scholarship Committee will consult with members of the Board as required.  

The Scholarship Committee is responsible for: 

• Review, maintenance, and transparency of the application process  
• Decisions about awarding and revoking of scholarships  
• Review of stream numbers, individual class numbers, and cohort dynamics in relation to shortlisted applicants  
• Review of the progress of scholarship students in consultation with relevant staff 
• Review of policy and procedures and the maintenance of documentation regarding scholarships
