Student Scholarships

Northern Bay College, through our philanthropic champions The NBC Challenge Committee, proudly awards a number of Year 7-8 Scholarships each year to our existing Year 6 students. This significant award is designed to ensure that there are no obstacles to successful continuation as an engaged student at the College.

Northern Bay College proudly awards a number of Year 7-8 Scholarships each year within the four pillars of:

Academic: includes all core curriculum of English, Maths, Languages Other than English, Humanities, as well as other learning experience

Sciences and Technologies: includes Science (e.g. chemistry, physics, biology), STEM/STEAM, digital technologies and Technologies (e.g. Wood, Food, Textiles, Robotics, Mechanical)

Sport, Physical Education and Health: includes interschool and community sport, Physical Education and health

The Arts: includes Music, Dance, Dramatic Arts, Visual Arts, Media, Graphics

Our Year 6 students are invited to apply for a three-stage process, which begins with a written application, then shortlisting for interview, after which scholarships are awarded.

The Scholarship commences when Year 7 and 8 studies begin. It aims to assist students as they progress towards the Goldsworthy Years 9-12 Campus, guiding them as they work towards completing Year 12 and preparing for life beyond secondary school.

The Year 7-8 Scholarships are tailored for each scholar and the scholarship pillar, providing benefits at the College up to the value of $4,000.

Scholars, with the support of a parent/carer, meet with the College Student Enrichment Principal - Ken Massari - to identify the areas of support that would assist them the most.

The support aims to provide access to opportunities and resources that can include:

  • Materials and support to enhance potential eg. specialist equipment, books, and materials specific to the chosen pillar
  • Specialised development opportunities eg. Leadership development, public speaking, coaching/mentoring/tutoring, accelerated learning, guest speakers, conditioning programs, excursions
  • Membership / registration support
