Making a Grammar education possible
Key dates for our 2027 Form I (Year 7) scholarships are listed below:
Applications Open: 1 October 2025
Applications Close: 20 January 2026
The Academic Scholarship Assessment will take place on Sunday 1 February 2026.
Sydney Grammar School offers academic scholarships every year, for boys entering Form I (Year 7). We do not offer scholarships for entry to Form II (Year 8) - Form V (Year 11), or at our Preparatory Schools.
We are looking for bright, engaged boys with a love of learning, a curiosity about the world and a passion to get involved in the wide range of co-curricular activities we have on offer.
Scholarships generally cover 90% of the annual tuition fees, currently set at $49,209. We also have a number of means-based scholarships, which are set aside for boys, well-suited for a scholarship, but whose parents do not have the capacity to pay the fees. Interested parents are invited to submit financial information as a part of the admissions process.
Our Entrance Assessment tests skills in English and Mathematics and are age-appropriate. Coaching for the assessment is not necessary, in fact, we strongly discourage it. All tests are paper-based and set and marked by Grammar’s teaching staff.
Should you have other Scholarship enquiries, please email us at scholarships@sydgram.nsw.edu.au.
Music Scholarships
Each year we offer a range of music scholarships (both full-fee and means-tested) to boys with outstanding musical talent entering Form I (Year 7). In making the awards, we take into consideration a boy’s performance on an instrument at audition, his results in the School’s Academic Scholarship Assessment Test and his character.
For further information, please contact the Music department on 9332 5895 or email foms@sydgram.nsw.edu.au.
Music Scholarship Applications have closed for 2025.
