Scholarships FAQs 2026
The number of scholarships offered each year varies depending on the quality and strength of the application pool.
Wesley College typically offers scholarships between a 25% and 80% reduction in tuition fees.
All Wesley scholarships are awarded on merit. Wesley also offers an optional means-tested component to all merit-based scholarships. The means-tested component is scaled and informed by the personal and financial circumstances of families shared through the scholarship application process. Families will be asked to complete an additional means-tested application and provide supporting documentation (e.g. tax returns). Financial assistance may be reviewed, and adjustments may be made should financial circumstances change significantly.
