Northside Christian College Academic Scholarships

As one of the leading independent, co-educational, non-denominational Christian schools in north Brisbane, Northside Christian College offers the opportunity for partial three-year scholarships to both current and prospective students with outstanding academic record.

The College is well-known and respected for its academic results, commitment to character development and passionate community service. Being awarded a Northside scholarship is an achievement of which one can be proud.

To be awarded an Academic Scholarship, a potential student must score highly in the EduTest examination, demonstrate academic excellence, and display qualities consistent with the College's mission. Scholarship recipients will also be expected to comply with the College's expectations of behaviour as outlined in the Parent and Student Handbooks.

The College will offer up to 4 individual scholarships. Scholarships typically represent up to 40% remission of the tuition fees only. Recipients will be selected by the Northside Christian College Scholarship Committee. All scholarships are confidential and should be treated as such.

We recommend contacting the Enrolments Office early to ensure there is enough time to complete all steps.

Scholarship Testing Information 2027

Scholarship testing will take place on Saturday, 6 March 2027.

Who can apply for Northside Christian College Academic Scholarships?

The scholarships will be offered to Australian citizens and permanent residents who are eligible for enrolment at Northside Christian College.

We welcome scholarship applications from current students and external applicants.

If Northside is your preferred choice of school, we encourage you to put in an Application for Enrolment as early as possible to avoid disappointment. This is due to scholarship applications only opening the year prior to entry.

All applicants applying for an Academic Scholarship must have completed a Northside Christian College online application, including payment of the application fee. This must be no later than one month prior to registration closing. This is to allow time for the Enrolments Office to confirm suitability.
