Scholarships and Bursaries
The College offers a range of scholarships to students who display commitment and motivation in the areas of learning, creativity, leadership, collaboration and community.
Inspired by Catherine McAuley, the founder of the Sisters of Mercy, the College also offers Bursaries (monetary assistance) to enable students to attend our College when they might otherwise not have been able to do so.
