Bursaries

GOAL College has an ongoing commitment to supporting promising young people and is fortunate to be able to offer a limited number of bursaries for entry into Year 11.

Our bursaries are funded by the school and a small group of dedicated and generous private donors. They are not linked to any particular HSC Teammate, and Teammates have no role in selecting bursary recipients.

Merit Scholarships

GOAL College Merit Scholarships support outstanding all-rounders.

Our Merit Scholarships provide partial fee relief ($4,000 value per year) for up to 3 students to study at the College. The scholarship is awarded for each of a student’s two years of study at the College (total value $8,000).

More information is available in the GOAL College Merit Scholarship Information Sheet.

Eligibility

Recipients of a GOAL College Merit Scholarship will be exceptional young people who have the potential to make a significant positive contribution to the College and act as an ambassador to the wider community.

Successful applicants don’t need to be straight-A students or elite sportspeople, but will be able to demonstrate their commitment to the College’s core values through a history of sporting involvement, community volunteering and academic accomplishments
