All scholarships carry substantial and varying remission of fees throughout the student's time at the School. While the scholarship recipient appears to receive most of the benefits, encouraging scholars has always been and continues to be extremely beneficial for the School. Through scholarships Melbourne Grammar can embrace members of the community adding to the diversity, talent and culture of the School.
