Foundation Bursary

Available for entry in Years 7 to 11 2026. Applications open.

Pymble’s Foundation Bursaries are currently open to students who are refugees who wish to embrace an exceptional educational experience with the support of the College’s outstanding teachers, facilities, programs, and commitment to diversity and inclusion. Providing education and educational opportunities for girls from less privileged backgrounds has been prioritised at Pymble since 1927, when the College Council/Board recognised that a high-quality education can change the trajectory of the life of a student and her family.

The goodwill and humanity of Pymble’s community can make a significant impact on the lives of students who could not otherwise afford a Pymble education. The transformational power of committed teachers and a heart-warmingly supportive community, committed to adapting the curriculum, tailoring lessons, and building strong relationships are vital to a student’s engagement in learning, especially for those impacted by trauma.

The Foundation Bursary is generously provided by the Pymble Foundation.

The bursary covers the following:

  • Enrolment fees
  • Tuition fees
  • Laptop
  • Uniform except footwear
