2025 Senior Academic Scholarships
Application for a Senior Academic Scholarship is open to both new students and current Pedare students, who will enter Years 9, 10, 11 or 12 in 2025.
Applicants are required to register online to sit the Senior Scholarship Test, which is administered by the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER). Applicants are required to demonstrate a range of skills such as the ability to interpret, infer, deduce and think critically. The tests are not curriculum based and do not test the ability to retrieve learned knowledge, nor are they diagnostic.
The value of the scholarships is up to 50% tuition fee remission with Scholarships being reviewed on an annual basis to monitor the student’s continuing performance. It is expected that recipients will complete their schooling at Pedare.
The ACER scholarship examination will be held at Pedare, 12-30 Surrey Farm Drive, Golden Grove on Saturday 22 June, 2024.
Online registrations are now open and the closing date for registrations is Friday 7 June 2024. The fee to sit the scholarship test is $120.
Students in Year 8 or 9 in 2024, can apply for the Level 2 Scholarship Test for Year 9 or 10 in 2025.
