Scholarships

Northern Bay College proudly offer Year 7&8 scholarships within the four pillars of:

• Academic
• Science 
• Technologies
• Sport
• Physical Education 
• Health
• The Arts.  

The timeline for selecting the 2026-27 Year 7&8 Scholarship students has been determined.  I am pleased to announce the key dates in the process for 2025 Year 6 students to apply for an NBC Year 7&8 Scholarship.  

In the last week of Term 2, students across the College will receive their Semester 1 School Report.  Many items of information needed for completing the application will be found in the school report.  During that week, I will visit each Junior campus and discuss the scholarship process.  

Scholarship Applications will be OPEN from Friday 8 August.  Each Year 6 student and their parents will receive information and links to the application forms through email.  In the following week, students will engage in Three-way learning conversations which will help students to think about their strengths to include in their application.  During that week I will attend each Junior campus again to assist students with questions about their applications.  Applications CLOSE on Friday 22 August 2025.

Our Selection Panels will then shortlist the applications to identify the students that will go to the interview stage.  Students selected to be interviewed will be notified by Friday 5 September 2025.  Interviews will be conducted over the final two weeks of Term 3.

Returning in Term 4, final recommendations for the successful 2026-27 Year 7&8 Scholarship students will be made by Friday 10 October.  

A presentation ceremony will be held in Week 4 of Term 4.
