Senior Academic Scholarship

Pymble Ladies’ College offers a number of academic scholarships providing up to 50 per cent remission from academic tuition fees (excluding extras) to students entering Year 11. The awarding of scholarships is determined by academic performance, results in the scholarship examination and successful interview.

All candidates must sit the Academic Assessment Services (AAS) examination on Sunday 13 August 2023 (for Year 11 2025 scholarships).

The scholarship examination will be held at the College or remotely (for country candidates and, in some cases, for overseas candidates).
