LORDS is proud to offer scholarships (academic only) and bursaries to future and current students entering Years 7 to 12 in 2027 who excel in any of the following areas:
- Academics
- Sports
- Performing Arts
- Creative Arts
A scholarship is offered for the remainder of the student’s enrolment at LORDS. The percentage discounted from the tuition fees is fixed for the duration of the scholarship.
Bursaries are reviewed annually, and the percentage may vary from year to year.
Both scholarships and bursaries carry expectations with regard to the student’s conduct, involvement and commitment to the school, especially within the area for which they have been awarded. The percentage allocated applies only to the student’s tuition fee.
All scholarships and bursaries are confidential, with offers not to be discussed with students and parents at the School or within the wider community.
