Don't miss out - Ignite your child's ambition at JPC - Shape their future with a JPC Scholarship.
Applications for the 2027 scholarship round are now closed.
The John Paul College Scholarship Program offers opportunities for domestic students entering Years 7 to 11 to join our dynamic learning community, where excellence is ignited through challenge, growth and care. The program seeks to identify and celebrate students who demonstrate outstanding strengths, talents and potential across a variety of fields, supporting them to thrive in an environment that nurtures curiosity, creativity and character.
Scholarships provide partial remission of tuition fees for domestic students who actively demonstrate the College values and meet the criteria for each scholarship category, for the duration of their studies at John Paul College through to Year 12, subject to annual reviews.
In keeping with our mission to accelerate a learning community that ignites excellence in all, we are deeply committed to supporting students who would greatly benefit from a JPC education but may not have the opportunity to attend without financial assistance.
Scholarships are also available to existing students in Years 7 to 11 for the duration of their studies at John Paul College.
