The College is proud to award Academic scholarships each year recognizing excellence in academic achievement.
Due to a strong culture of philanthropy within our community, we are pleased to be able to offer an additional academic scholarship for new students enrolling in 2025 – the Tartan Plus Academic Scholarship.
Who is eligible to apply?
We are accepting scholarship applications from students not enrolled at Brisbane Boys’ College for entry into Year 7 in 2025.
What costs does the scholarship cover?
The Tartan+ Academic Scholarship will cover 100% of the tuition fees for a student from Year 7 for the duration of the term of the enrolment.
What costs will I be responsible for as a parent or guardian?
While 100% of the tuition fees will be covered by the scholarship, families are responsible for additional costs required to attend the College.
Families will be required to pay a one-time confirmation fee of $2,250 on enrolment.
Annual costs that families will also be responsible for include their son’s school uniform, technology levy, and any required textbooks. An indicative cost per year is outlined below.
