Scholarships

Since the inception of our Scholarship Program many recipients have gone on to achieve amazing academic results and to perform exceptionally well in their university courses, and are now entering the workforce as fine examples of Salesian men.

The outstanding results achieved by Salesian College students must be attributed to the dedication and commitment of teaching staff, learning, pastoral care and wellbeing programs offered at the College, fostering an environment of support and care for each individual student.

The attainment of a scholarship recognises a student’s achievement at the highest level. Each scholarship recipient is to maintain and build on the intensity from the early year levels into the senior years.

Devised to encourage our students at each year level to achieve their personal best, the Scholarship Program aims to recognise, reinforce and reward our high achieving students, as well as those with gifts in the performing arts, visual arts and sport.

Salesian College Chadstone is committed to awarding scholarships on an annual basis to recognise personal excellence in academic, curricular and extra-curricular pursuits.
