Application for Mount St Benedict College Scholarship Program

Application for any of our Scholarships requires students to register for and sit an ACER examination in the year prior to entry. Applications open in late September and close in early February the following year. To apply for any of these scholarships, please access the ACER website.

Cost

The Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) who operate the examination, charge a fee for each student sitting the exam. In 2024, this fee is $145.00 per student. The exam will be conducted at the College on Saturday 24 February 2024. An email from ACER, containing details and instructions, is sent to all registered applicants prior to the exam.

Applications for Year 7 in 2025 will be opened on Monday 26 September 2023 and will close on Sunday 4 February 2024.

Scholarship Conditions

Scholarship recipients will be notified by email during Term Two. It is assumed that scholarships will be accepted in good faith and that the behaviour, effort and involvement of the student concerned would be of an appropriate level. In the case where this is not so, the College reserves the right to withdraw the Scholarship.
