2010 AL ZAHRA COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS
Al Zahra College invites applications for Scholarships for entry in Years 5, 6 and 7 in 2010. The College offers full and partial Scholarships for Tuition fees. All other fees and charges normally payable will apply.
Three types of Scholarships are awarded:
• Academic Scholarships
• All-Rounder Scholarships
• Indigenous Scholarships
• Quranic Scholarships
• Orphans Scholarships
ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIPS
Academic Scholarships are awarded for academic merit. The selection of successful applicants is based upon the results of an AZC Scholarship Examination, scheduled for Saturday, 10th October, 2009. The results of this test are considered, together with a student’s previous school reports and general background.
ALL- ROUNDER SCHOLARSHIPS
All-Rounder Scholarships are awarded to students who have an ability to make a significant contribution in a variety of areas, including sport, to the school community and have demonstrated a high level of success in a variety of areas.
INDIGENOUS SCHOLARSHIPS
Indigenous Scholarships are established for Indigenous students whose parents seek a private school education for their children.
QURANIC SCHOLARSHIPS
Quranic Scholarships are awarded to students who demonstrate outstanding memorisation and recitation ability.
ORPHAN SCHOLARSHIPS
Orphan Scholarships are established for orphans to enable them the opportunity of a private school education in the ‘family environment’ of AZC.
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS
It is expected that holders of Scholarships will participate fully in the life of the College. This includes sport, extension activities, camps and other co-curricular activities. It is also assumed that a Scholarship holder will maintain a strong academic performance and – in the case of general academic scholarships – maintain results near the top of the year cohort.
TENURE
Most Scholarships are awarded for the whole of a student’s enrolment at the College. However, they are subject to review annually and a student who does not perform at a satisfactory level or who does not contribute generally to the life of the College may have their Scholarship withdrawn.
