Boarding bursaries

The Churchie Foundation offers boarding bursaries to students living in rural and remote Australia who would not otherwise have the financial means to attend the School, but who exemplify the four tenets and would contribute meaningfully to the boarding community.

Bursaries are applied to boarding fees only.

How to apply

1. Express interest: Complete an expression of interest form.

2. Provide your details: the School will provide a declaration of financial position and will request additional documentation, including a written response addressing the eligibility criteria, school reports, NAPLAN results and any other relevant supporting documentation.

3. Meet with the School: Successful applicants will be invited to complete an application and attend an enrolment interview.

4. Receive your offer: Following a successful interview, the student will receive an offer of a boarding place at Churchie.

Application periods

Churchie typically offers boarding bursaries at the beginning of the calendar year for commencement the following year. Additional bursaries may become available throughout the year.
