2023 ProgrammeSCHOLARSHIPS

Great students deserve a great education, apply for a TIGS scholarship and start your child’s education journey in a

welcoming and inclusive community.

At The Illawarra Grammar School, your child will be empowered to discover their potential and challenged to achieve their best. Our personalised learning approach means every student is known and understood as an individual, their interests encouraged, and their talents nurtured by dedicated staff. We believe that no child should be just a face in the crowd, and this core belief is instilled into every aspect of our School experience.

We acknowledge that there are students who would excel and thrive in our community but require financial assistance to do so. To assist these students, TIGS awards a range of scholarships in recognition of academic, music, sporting or community achievements.

A range of factors are considered in the awarding of a scholarship beyond simply talent and means. The students who are selected embody the School values and demonstrate both passion and purpose in shaping a better world.

Our scholarships are open to students entering Year 5 to Year 11 and provide support at various levels, up to 100% of base tuition fees.

All scholarship applicants are required to attend the scholarship examination held in Term I each year, with successful applicants being invited to interview with the Scholarship Committee.

For assistance in determining your eligibility please contact our Enrolment Office via email: [email protected] or telephone 02 4220 0216.
