VCE Student Scholarship

At BSC, smaller class sizes mean students receive more individual attention, personalised support and opportunities to actively engage in their learning. Our teachers get to know each student, understand their strengths and provide guidance to help them build confidence, extend their skills and reach their potential. Whether you're interested in pursuing Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics or other areas of Science, BSC offers a supportive learning environment where students are known, challenged and encouraged to succeed.

Bundoora Secondary College is offering 10 VCE Scholarships for students seeking to join our school in Year 11 or Year 12 in 2027.

The scholarships recognise students who demonstrate academic commitment and who are keen to contribute to the BSC learning community. The scholarships are available for students undertaking the VCE program only. They are not available for students enrolling in the VCE Vocational Major (VCE VM) or VCE VET programs.

Before submitting an Expression of Interest (EOI), please read the VCE Scholarship Terms and Conditions to understand the eligibility requirements, selection process and scholarship benefits. We encourage you to check your eligibility against the EMIP requirements as this will inform the application process.

Step 1: Submit Your Expression of Interest Online

Complete the online Expression of Interest form below by 12 February 2027. Please ensure all sections are completed and the information provided is accurate.

Step 2: Application review

The Principal will review your application and determine your eligibility based on the EMIP and year level capacity. Applicants will be contacted and invited to attend an interview with nominated BSC representatives. Parents and carers will be contacted with the outcome as soon as possible. Submission of an EOI or interview does not guarantee an interview or scholarship offer.

Step 3: Interview and selection outcome

Interviews provide an opportunity for applicants to discuss their interests, achievements, aspirations and potential contribution to the BSC community.

Successful applicants will receive a formal written scholarship offer outlining the benefits and conditions.

Step 4. Enrolment

Scholarship offers are conditional on an enrolment place being available and approved in accordance with the Department of Education's enrolment requirements and Placement Policy.

Students living outside the BSC designated neighbourhood zone may be considered where sufficient accommodation is available and other placement requirements are met.

VCE subject selections are subject to BSC's available VCE subject offerings, prerequisites, timetabling and class availability. The College cannot guarantee access to a particular subject or combination of subjects. Subject offerings may vary from year to year.

Successful applicants and their parents/carers must accept the scholarship offer and complete all required enrolment documentation within the timeframe specified by the College; 19th February 2027.

Scholarship benefits will be provided once enrolment is confirmed and the student has commenced attendance at BSC.

What if I am not offered a scholarship?

We understand that not all applicants will be successful, as only 10 scholarships are available.

Not receiving a scholarship does not prevent you from enquiring about enrolment at BSC through the usual enrolment process, subject to the Department's Placement Policy and available places.
