Yes. Students may apply for more than one scholarship, but a separate application must be submitted for each scholarship. However, students may only be awarded and hold one scholarship at a time.

Yes. Students who have accepted an offer of enrolment are welcome to apply for a scholarship and will be considered alongside all other applicants.

The selection process varies according to the scholarship, but across all categories we aim to gain a broader understanding of each student, their qualities and what they might bring to Trinity.

Academic Scholarships applicants sit an entrance examination, with shortlisted candidates invited to interview. Music Scholarships applicants also sit the academic examination and submit an application that includes a video recording of them playing their nominated instrument. Shortlisted applicants are invited to interview.

Cocurricular Scholarships applicants submit a portfolio outlining their achievements and involvement, with shortlisted candidates invited to interview. Means-tested and First Nations Scholarships applications are reviewed, with shortlisted candidates also invited to interview.

No scholarship is assessed solely on examination results or a written application. We are particularly interested in getting to know each student beyond their academic results – their interests, character, strengths and aspirations, and what they might bring to the Trinity community. Our values of Truth, Courage, Community and Service also underpin what we look for in each applicant.

Scholarships provide partial remission of tuition fees. As scholarship awards are determined on a case-by-case basis, remission levels are not publicly disclosed.
