SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION FORM FOR 2025

The Principal invites applications for Scholarships at Geraldton Christian College for 2025 from students entering Year 7, Year 9 or Year 11 (subject to availability in these year levels).

Students currently enrolled at the College are ineligible to apply.

Students must have a right to study in Australia to be eligible to apply.

Geraldton Christian College offers a limited number of scholarships to secondary students on an annual basis. Scholarships recognise achievement, enable success, and assume a commitment to the College. Our goal is to promote students who strive for excellence, learning in a Christ-centred environment.

Geraldton Christian College is an educational institution that takes seriously its mission of making known the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Christian faith and biblical authority sit at the centre of its practice as a Christ-centred institution. Therefore, scholarship recipients/families must understand and value this mission, be willing to sign the College Statement of Faith and agree for their child/ren to be taught from this Christian worldview perspective.

Geraldton Christian College stresses the wholistic formation of its students and sees education as a partnership with families. Families are expected to share the philosophy, priorities and aims of the College, as set out in the Statement of Faith and to support the College. We require scholarship recipients to follow all College expectations and show broad commitment to school life beyond single areas of interest.
