DOWNLANDS SCHOLARSHIPS
The concept of awarding scholarships will have differing criteria at various schools, but at Downlands we seek to offer the gift of a Downlands education to those students who aspire to be part of our community and who are keen to give something significant back to the College through demonstrated excellence, thereby enhancing established programs and events at the College.
Students may wish to apply for more than one scholarship category but a
scholarship application fee applies to each application for each category. Payment may be made in cash, by credit card or through direct deposit, simply contact the College by phoning (07) 4690 9500 for account details.
It is necessary that you attach full documentation supporting your child’s application (irrespective of which school your child attends). All applicants should submit a resumé of achievements with the application form. This must cover academic achievement, sporting prowess and leadership/community experiences. Applications should also include your child's most recent semester reports, NAPLAN results, certificates or awards and letters of support from your child's coaches/teachers.
