Scholarships
The Hamilton and Alexandra College Scholarships
We are proud of our broad scholarships program, which awards scholarships to students of character and potential who will make a significant contribution to the life of the school.
The Hamilton and Alexandra College has a variety of scholarships available.
Ivy Scholarships
General Excellence
At The Hamilton and Alexandra College, we pride ourselves on developing well-rounded adults. The General Excellence Ivy Scholarships support students who achieve across multiple fields of endeavour, and who will contribute to the culture and life of the school.
Applications are closed.
Academic
Academic Ivy scholarships are awarded to students of exceptional academic promise. Applicants sit the EduTest exam hosted by a third-party educational assessment organisation. Ivy Scholarships are awarded based on the results of this testing and review of current school reports.
2026 Applications are closed.
Junior School
Junior School Ivy Scholarships are awarded for the same traits as a General Excellence Ivy Scholarship at Senior School, but are for applicants entering Year 4, 5 or 6.
2026 Applications are closed.
Boarding
We understand that the tyranny of distance can limit access to quality education; Boarding Ivy Scholarships are awarded to students who would like to join the Boarding House community and display the same traits as those for the General Excellence Ivy Scholarship.
2026 Applications are closed.
Boarding Bursary
Year 7 and 8 Boarders
This bursary is for both Year 7 & 8, and is a 100% reduction of boarding fees for Year 7, and in Year 8 either a 50% reduction in fees for students coming from less than 100km away or 100% reduction in fees if coming from more than 100km away.
These Year 7 and 8 Boarding Bursaries are open to both new and current Hamilton and Alexandra College families. The bursary does not cover textbooks, uniforms, excursions, technology fees, individual subject fees or tuition fees.

2026 Applications are closed.
Tower Scholarships
Tower Scholarships are equity scholarships designed to support families who require financial assistance and who understand and prioritise the benefit of receiving a quality independent education.
