Each year, a limited number of scholarships are offered to students entering Years 7 to 11.
A scholarship to Clayfield provides your child with the opportunity to achieve their personal best and take responsibility for, and be proactive in, the development of their own education. Most importantly, Clayfield scholarships provide opportunities for students to attend our College who may not otherwise have been able to do so.
‘I’ve been really impressed to hear what Clayfield is doing to assist girls and boys who would not otherwise have the support to achieve a good education. For me, education is the long-term key to assisting young adults out of poverty and/or powerlessness.’— Sue Boyce (Class of 1967)
