Firbank Grammar offers scholarships to exceptional new and current students who demonstrate excellence in areas such as academic, music, choral, sporting, general excellence and citizenship. The types of scholarships are:
- Academic Scholarships
- Principal’s Scholarships
- Music Scholarships
- Sporting Scholarships

Most Firbank scholarships cover a proportion of the tuition fees of between 15% and 50%, awarded on a basis of merit and means-testing. The percentage of tuition fees is at the Principal’s discretion.
This year we are delighted to offer The Firbank Scholarship, a community-funded scholarship offering full tuition for a student entering Year 7, 8, 9 or 10 in 2025.
