The Aspire Scholarship - financial support scheme
Introduction
The Aspire Scholarship provides assistance for low income families towards the costs of private secondary schooling. It will contribute up to $15,000 per year towards the tuition fees of a private school for the duration of a student's attendance at this school. It will also include a yearly allowance of up to $1,500 for course related costs. The scholarship does not cover boarding fees, and cannot be used at state or state-integrated schools.
The Aspire programme was introduced this year, and over 120 students are now enrolled at private schools with an Aspire Scholarship.
Applications for the 2011 Aspire Scholarships have now closed. There will be no more application rounds for the 2011 school year. Applications are expected to open for 2012 Aspire Scholarships later this year. There are currently 50 Aspire Scholarships that will be made available for students who will be in Year 9 in 2012.
