Geelong College offers academic, music and boarding scholarships for entry into Years 7 to 11 each year.
Scholarship applications open in November 2015 with tests and auditions in February 2016 for entry into 2017, so you need to plan ahead.
Special scholarships, such as the Howard Hitchcock Visual Arts Scholarship are offered cyclically so it is always a good idea to visit geelongcollege.vic.edu.au to see what is available.
Geelong College is excited to be able to offer the Howard Hitchcock Visual Arts Scholarship this year.
“The design and creative arts are a very prominent part of our curriculum,” acting principal Roger Smith says.
“We have very good success in the top arts and design competitions, and many students have been selected for exhibitions.
“We are confident that we could support just about any student who’s creative and talented in this area,” Mr Smith says.
All scholarship applicants sit the test to give the school an understanding of their general aptitude.
“It’s easier said than done, but try to relax during the test,” Mr Smith said.
“Students should be themselves – write an essay the way they usually would, or play their instrument the way they normally play.
“We’re looking for well-rounded individuals, people who will bring something to the community as well as benefitting themselves.”
