Scholarships

Year 7, Year 10 or Year 11 entry (Means-Tested)

The Foundation Scholarship is means-tested and fully covers tuition fees. Funding for the scholarship is provided by members of our school community who wish to give the opportunity of a Roseville College education to a student who would otherwise not have the means to attend the College. It is therefore open only to new students, who will be entering Year 7, Year 10 or Year 11, in 2024.

The remission of tuition fees will be maintained until the completion of Year 12, subject to satisfactory academic progress and exemplary behaviour, as determined by an annual review.

Year 7 2025 and Years 8-11 2025

Music scholarships are awarded to students based on demonstrated musical excellence. Candidates should also display evidence of participation in school music programs. We offer Music scholarships in two age categories, as follows:

Year 7 Music Scholarship

Senior Music Scholarship (for students entering Years 8–11)*

*Please note that the Senior Music Scholarship will be awarded to one student only, and is open to students entering Year 8, Year 9, Year 10 or Year 11, in 2025.

The granting of a scholarship will take into consideration the results of the scholarship test, relevant supporting documentation, the audition process, and an interview.

The audition process consists of two rounds:

Round 1 – Video Audition Submission
Candidates are asked to prepare, record, and upload a video recording of two contrasting pieces to a maximum time of 10 minutes. Excerpts of longer works are acceptable, and the videos can be recorded with or without accompaniment. Video auditions will be assessed, and shortlisted applicants will be invited to proceed to the live audition round. Notifications will be sent via email to all applicants by Wednesday 7 February.

Round 2 – Live Audition
Candidates should perform a 10-minute program of two contrasting pieces, at least one of which must be performed with piano accompaniment (for all instruments except Piano). These pieces can be repeated from Round 1. Applicants are responsible for providing their own accompanist. Candidates will also be assessed on their aural and sight-reading skills. These auditions will be held at Roseville College, on 26 & 27 February, from 3:30pm. Specific times will be detailed in an invitation email.

Following the live auditions, applicants will be short-listed for the final stage, which is an interview with the Principal.

Recipients of a Music scholarship are required to undertake elective music studies to HSC level and to be involved in a range of music activities, as instructed by the Head of Music.

The minimum AMEB standard (or equivalent) suggested for audition selection is as follows:
