MLC offers academic, boarding, science, sport and music scholarships to both primary and high school students in Melbourne.
MLC supports scholarship students to excel through access to world-class facilities, programs, educators, and diverse co-curricular experiences.
An MLC scholarship is based on merit and potential in one of six categories: Academic, Music, Sports, Indigenous, Science, and Boarding. In addition, all scholarship recipients demonstrate a strong commitment to the College values.
Our scholarships are competitive, and applicants are assessed based on the strength of their scholarship application, previous school reports, the scholarship test and interview.
Scholarship recipients go on to be a valued part of our welcoming and inclusive College community and stand proudly among our many notable alumnae.
