Newcastle Grammar School offers the opportunity for outstanding young students to apply for scholarships in such areas as Academics, Music, the Arts, Sporting and All Rounders. Secondary Years scholarships take the form of partial remission of tuition fees and are available to Australian citizens and permanent residents. Scholarship places are reviewed each year.
As part of our Scholarship program, the School hopes to be able to offer a student who may not otherwise be able to attend Newcastle Grammar School the opportunity to be part of our School community.
