THE CGGS GUIDELINES
We acknowledge the Ngunnawal and Ngambri peoples as the traditional keepers of the land on which we gather. We are inspired by their wisdom, spirituality and experience. We particularly acknowledge our debt to the wise Indigenous women who have shared language, country and culture. We commit ourselves to actively work alongside them for reconciliation and justice.
Pivotal to Canberra Girls Grammar School’s 100-year legacy of educational excellence, connection and opportunity is our Scholarship and Bursary Program.
The CGGS community’s commitment to gender equity and inclusion is infused throughout our history and is profoundly connected to the ethos of the Community of the Sisters of the Church. This collective belief is at the core of our Program, which continues to evolve and improve over time. The focus remains to enable a broad range of students access to a life-changing CGGS education.
The Program has two goals, to recognise student dedication and excellence, and to provide a world-class education to those who may not otherwise have such opportunities.
There are two streams to the CGGS Scholarship and Bursary Program.
THE SCHOLARSHIP STREAM
This option specifically acknowledges and rewards students who have demonstrated academic excellence in combination with high achievement in sport, music, artistic pursuits, or across multiple disciplines. This stream also provides opportunities for Indigenous students, with boarding as an offering for students in remote, regional and rural communities.
Scholarship applicants can request to have their applications means-tested as part of the process.
This option requires an applicant to sit the Academic Assessment Services (AAS) test*.
THE BURSARY STREAM
This option specifically enables students who require financial support, with boarding as an offering for students in remote, regional and rural communities.
This option requires a means-test via an independent external financial review conducted by the School’s professional partner, Edstart.
Applications for both 2026 Scholarships and Bursaries open in October 2024 and close Monday 28 October 2024.
The Gabriel Foundation has made a CGGS education possible for many students since its inception, as it funds both the Scholarship and Bursary offerings at the School.
The Foundation’s annual support of the Program has been enabled by generations of CGGS parents and donors and further strengthens our School community by advancing diverse educational opportunities.
The Archer Family Bursary is an additional option in the Program for a Year 11 student, supporting the duration of their senior studies. The Bursary is named in honour of the Archer family, particularly Mr Keith Archer, a valued member of the CGGS Board, Parents & Friends Association, and the Gabriel Foundation, and his daughter, Mrs Margaret Cornwell (Grammarian, 1951). Margaret continues to be a generous supporter of CGGS and is still actively engaged with the School as a member of the Grammarians Association, and as a valued donor.
Keith’s son also attended CGGS during his early years of education, as did four of his grandchildren and two of his great grandchildren.
Key to the Program is the expectation of students to embrace and embody the School’s four values of inclusion, courage, respect and integrity and to apply themselves in their studies and through their active involvement in the broader life of the School.
How to apply
An application must be submitted online by Monday 28 October 2024.
First, review our Scholarship or Bursary options and identify which best applies to your child (see pages 8—19).
The application process begins via the CGGS website: click here
Your application will be managed by our partners Academic Assessment Services (AAS). Via their website you will be guided to submit the following details.
Provide the following documents:
• Evidence of age, identity, and Australian citizenship or permanent residency status.
• A personal letter of reference (non-family member).
• Current school academic and school reports from the last two years (copies).
• Most recent NAPLAN report or equivalent (copies).
• A recent school photograph.
Answer the following questions:
From the applicant
1. In approximately 400 words, outline the attributes, dispositions and personal achievements that make you an outstanding applicant for a CGGS Scholarship or Bursary. In your response also outline the contribution you would make to the broader life of the School should your application be successful.
2. CGGS proudly upholds the values of integrity, courage, respect, and inclusion. Choose one of these values and, in approximately 300 words, describe how you envision embodying this value in your school, home, or community. Additionally, explain why you believe CGGS aligns with your personal values and aspirations, making it the ideal School for you.
From the parent/carer
3. In 150 words or less, outline your family’s reasons for applying for a CGGS or Bursary for your child.
4. Complete the curriculum vitae (CV), outlining: academic awards, leadership roles held, sporting achievements, representative team experience, co-curricular activities, community service roles, etc. Include dates, and brief explanations if needed.
TO NOTE:
• Not all Scholarships and Bursaries listed may be offered every year.
• The final decision to offer a Scholarship or Bursary, and level of remission, is at the discretion of the Principal.
• The Program is open to Australian citizens and permanent residents only.
• If a recipient does not meet the expectations of the Program or CGGS standards more broadly, the School reserves the right to rescind the Scholarship or Bursary.
• Scholarship application fee: $105 (non-refundable).
• Bursary application fee: $50 (non-refundable).
• Remote or distance application fee: $275 (nonrefundable). Applicants must reside at least 300km or three hours from Canberra Girls Grammar School. This application fee is to enable remote invigilation by AAS.
• Late applications will not be accepted, except at the invitation of the Principal or their delegate.
• To apply for a Scholarship or Bursary the applicant must have already made a formal enrolment application to CGGS including payment of the $220 application fee online. They must then complete the Scholarship or Bursary application and pay the Scholarship or Bursary application fee via the (AAS) process.
• CGGS does not provide a report on the results of a Scholarship examination, audition or interview.
• Students who cannot attend the Scholarship examination will not be offered an alternate date.
• When evaluating eligibility for a Bursary, the School reviews the family’s ability to pay tuition fees, considering their monthly income, expenses and net asses as outlined in the independent financial assessment. If the family’s net income clearly shows that they can afford the tuition fees within their current finances or manage them through effective asset management, the School will not approve the Bursary application.
*The AAS test is used as a benchmarking tool and does not constitute part of the selection process for Bursaries. Scholarship applicants may be means tested should they request consideration for a higher level of fee remission than the standard 25%.
