Scholarship Information and Application Process

2019 Year 7 and 8 Academic Scholarships

Pembroke offers scholarships for students entering Year 7 and 8 based entirely on results of the ACEP examinations held in February each year. Students sit for this examination in the year preceding entry to Year 7 or 8 at Pembroke. It is open to both students already enrolled at Pembroke and students wanting to attend Pembroke. Students studying on a student visa (500) are eligible to apply but the percentage of remission will be based on the tuition fee payable by an Australian student.
