OSA Scholarship

In 2019, the Old Scholars introduced its own scholarship program, designed to support St Mark's students in Years 10, 11 and 12.

About the Scholarship

The Scholarship is awarded to a Year 9 student who excels and commits across a number of sporting, cultural, extra and co-curricular pursuits, community as well as academic commitment and specialist areas. The Association is looking for a well-rounded student who embodies the spirit of St Mark’s Anglican Community School.

The successful applicant will have a track record of full participation throughout their schooling and a commitment to the School’s Values. A panel consisting of representatives from the OSA and the School will review all applications and create a shortlist of candidates for interview with the Principal, OSA President and Vice-President. The decision to award the Scholarship will be based on the student’s application and the outcome of a personal interview.

The Scholarship will provide a partial fee remission of 25% in the level of the tuition fee payable by the successful student each year and will continue until the student leaves St Mark’s, or for three years. The continuance of the Scholarship will be subject to annual review to ensure that the recipient is maintaining strong progress, demonstrating consistent and exemplary standards of attendance, effort, involvement, contribution, influence and adhering to the rules of the School.
