Scholarships & Bursaries

Kincoppal-Rose Bay (KRB) School offers several scholarships and bursaries, providing full or part fee remission for academic tuition or boarding. Students who receive these scholarships or bursaries will enrich the life of the School through areas of academia, service, sport, culture and leadership.

All candidates for scholarships and named bursaries must sit the Academic Assessment Services examination on the date published on the KRB website. This examination is held at Kincoppal-Rose Bay School and remotely, for those living in remote areas of Australia or overseas.

• Year 5 Entry – Academic Scholarships – including a scholarship for a student currently attending a local Catholic school.
