The merit entry or scholarship program at St Joseph’s College is designed to provide enrolment to students who are at a level of excellence in their field and who may not otherwise have the opportunity to attend the College.

The Academic Merit provides a 50% reduction of tuition fees subject to performance on the ACER testing program. The Sport/Cultural Merit Entry program may involve tuition fee relief, subject to financial need, or may provide accelerated enrolment entry only.

All prospective merit entry students will need to demonstrate a commitment to learning, to the ideals of a Catholic education and to demonstrate the traits of what it is to be a ‘Terrace Gentleman’ – Knowledge, Humility and Wisdom.

The Gregory Terrace Foundation is proudly committed to the Edmund Rice Bursary program, which seeks to provide an opportunity for students who identify as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander or whose families have joined our wider Australian community as refugees.  More information about this program is available below.
