Helping to make a St Margaret's Berwick Grammar education a reality
How does the Bursary Scheme work?
- Once your enrolment application has been accepted by the school you can apply for a Bursary. It is recommended that you apply for a Bursary the year prior to a child commencing with the school.
- You apply for a bursary by completing the Bursary Application Form, which includes a $150 assessment fee to the Admissions Team. If successful and you accept a Bursary to the school, the assessment fee will be returned to you via your school fees schedule.
- The Admissions Team will direct you to our Bursary Scheme Portal.
- The information (financial) you provide into the portal will be reviewed and assessed by Edstart, who are partnering with St Margaret’s Berwick Grammar. The school will never see the financial information you provide, so your financial privacy is assured.
- Edstart will provide the school with a bursary value indication based on their assessment.
- The school will review the bursary application considering a range factors including, but not limited to: place availability, alumni status, siblings, student interview and student performance.
- The school will then advise if you have been successful in attaining a Bursary.
- You agree to pay the school via Edstart.
- Bursaries are reviewed in full every 3 years or when there is a significant change in family circumstance e.g. a sibling joins the school.
- Applications are open to enrolled and current families.
- Bursaries are not available to children in the ELC.
