Ratcliffe College offers a wide range of scholarships to recognise academic, sporting, musical, dramatic and artistic talent amongst students for the senior school. Scholarships are available for those entering Year 7 or Year 12.

We have the highest expectations of our scholarship students; challenging each of them to fulfil their potential in all of their endeavours. Scholarships are for students that have a particular passion or talent that they wish to pursue throughout and beyond their education. As a scholar, students will receive additional support in their subject field and also a 5-20% fee remission.

As a Catholic school our aim is to help children who, under normal circumstances, would not be able to benefit from a Ratcliffe education. Our Bursary awards are designed to support talented students from low income families and are available for up to 80% of a student’s school fee and in exceptional circumstances up to 100%.

Bursaries are available for those entering Year 7 or Year 12 only and all awards are subject to parental means testing.
