The academic scholarship

Eligibility
"Students may sit the scholarship test in Years 5 to 10, with scholarships commencing no earlier than Year 7." "Boys can keep testing for scholarships each year until Year 10."
Value
"Academic Scholarships provide partial remission of tuition fees from Year 7 (or a later year of entry) through to the end of Year 12, subject to a semester review." "The number of scholarships offered varies every year depending on applicants, though it is often between 12 and 15."
Test provider
"Does my son need to sit both the AAS and ACER tests? Both tests are very similar for students. The School receives different data from each provider. While we prefer AAS, we regularly award scholarships to boys who have only sat the ACER exam."
Conditions
"Scholarships are awarded on the basis of outstanding results in scholarship testing, previous academic records, and an interview with the Headmaster or his delegate." "Scholarship percentages are determined by several factors including test results, school reports and interviews with the Deputy Headmaster."
