King’s Christian College is holding scholarship exams on 16 May 2026 for entry in the following academic year, 2027.

Scholarship exams are conducted on campus at all three King’s Christian College locations:

Our academic and music scholarships cover the cost of tuition fees at King’s Christian College. They do not cover additional consumable expenses such as uniforms, stationery, excursions or other co-curricular costs.

Depending on the student’s academic or musical ability, a scholarship may cover either the full cost of tuition or a partial reduction in tuition fees.

Scholarships are awarded with the expectation that the student will remain enrolled at King’s Christian College until graduating in Year 12. Scholarships are valid until the end of Year 12, subject to:

• Continued high standards of behaviour and academic results
• Ongoing support of the College and its culture by both the student and their family

If a scholarship recipient leaves the College before Year 12 graduation, the College reserves the right to request repayment of any tuition fees previously waived under the scholarship.
