Academic Scholarships
FOR STUDENTS ENTERING YEARS 5, 7, 10 & 11
Townsville Grammar School’s academic scholarship program is administered independently by ACER, the Australian Council for Educational Research. The ACER scholarship exams take place at Townsville Grammar School, however they are delivered by and assessed by ACER. Results are returned to the School and successful candidates will be notified.
Academic Scholarships are not able to be combined with other bursaries, with the exception of the IB Scholarship. Students can apply for more than one scholarship or bursary, and if more than one offer is made, it is up to the family’s discretion as to which they accept.
Students must be registered with ACER to sit the exam.
