Tuition Assistance

Tuition Assistance

An independent school education is a significant investment in a child’s future. Although some families are able to make the investment as part of their financial planning, we understand that others may need help.

Ridley College offers bursaries and scholarships to eligible students. However, given that funds are limited, these awards are not guaranteed and not all students who apply will qualify. We ask families to understand that tuition assistance should not be the first consideration when applying.
