Scholarships

Iona Presentation College is proud to offer Academic and Music scholarships. To benefit from one of these scholarships, students from Catholic, independent and government schools, whose values align with those of Iona, are invited to apply. A willingness to fully participate in the life of the College is an essential pre-requisite. Academic Scholarships offer either a 25% or 50% reduction in College tuition fees.

Senior School Scholarships

Scholarships for 2022 have now closed. Applications for 2023 will open in December 2021.

Scholarship examinations are held at the College in March each year, for entry the following year, and are facilitated by external examiners.

Any student entering Year 7 or Year 10 in the following year (including current students) is eligible to apply.

All girls applying for an Academic Scholarship must sit the examination.

Girls who perform well in their testing will be invited to an interview in May, with our Principal to assist in the final selection.

Scholarships are awarded based on the interview and results of the Academic Assessment Services Examination. At the interview, the Principal will take into account the student's involvement in her own school and local community.

Candidates will be notified of the outcome in writing by early June.

For more information, please call College Registrar, Mrs Theresa Loughnan, on 9285 5298 or by email on theresa.loughnan@iona.wa.edu.au.
