Scholarships for 2010

St Hilda’s offers a number of scholarships for students undertaking courses at The University of Melbourne or neighbouring tertiary institutions.  Scholarships are awarded to successful applicants to St Hilda’s College on the basis of academic results, personal qualities and the likely contributions the student can make to the College.  Bursary assistance, based upon financial need, is also available to College residents.
