Scholarships
Loreto College conducts a comprehensive annual Scholarship Program.
A scholarship is a financial grant awarded to a student, based either on academic merit or on excellence in the fields outlined in the Loreto Scholarship Program.
Each financial grant awarded to scholarship winners is at the discretion of the Principal and may vary from year to year.
All scholarship holders are expected to complete their secondary education at Loreto, Marryatville, to maintain high standards of academic achievement and behaviour, and to contribute positively and enthusiastically to all aspects of school life including the co-curricular program.
Each scholarship holder’s progress in the school and contribution to the wider life of the school will be reviewed annually. No student may hold more than one scholarship at any one time.
