The Bursary is open to girls whose mother or grandmother is a Diocesan Alumna and who, without financial assistance, would otherwise be unable to attend Diocesan School for Girls (Years 7–13).

It is available for up to 7 years, from Year 7 through Year 13, provided the student maintains satisfactory progress and exemplary behaviour each year.

Generally 1–2 students are awarded the Bursary annually. This is at the sole discretion of the DAA and may vary depending on the Association’s financial position.

Applications are considered based on the family’s financial circumstances and the past involvement of the alumna (mother or grandmother) in the School.

No. Having a sibling who previously received the Bursary does not guarantee that subsequent siblings will be awarded it. Each application is assessed on its own merit.

Recipients are expected to complete their secondary education at Diocesan School for Girls and to maintain satisfactory progress and exemplary behaviour throughout their enrolment.

Applicants must provide:

• A completed Diocesan School for Girls Application Form (if not already submitted)
• The DAA Bursary Application Form
• A written statement from the student and parent/caregiver about what attending Diocesan means to them
• A completed Statement of Financial Position (confidential)
• A recent photograph

The Bursary provides partial financial assistance of up to 50% of tuition fees only. It does not cover incidental charges. The Bursary also includes the Diocesan Alumnae Association life membership fee.
