Aranmore Catholic College awards full and partial scholarships to deserving students in the fields of Academic, Sport (Netball & Rugby) and Music.
In awarding scholarships, Aranmore commits itself to assist our scholarship students in attaining standards of excellence in their academic, sporting or artistic endeavours.
The College also has a Bursary Educational Encouragement Program (BEEP) to help further young Aboriginal people's career opportunities. Information on BEEP is available on this page, after the general scholarship information.
Expectations of Aranmore Scholarship Students
The College expects scholarship students to pursue excellence not only in the area where the scholarship has been awarded, but to develop all their other abilities and talents in keeping with the tradition of Catholic education. In particular, we expect scholarship students to:
- show leadership within the College community at all times
- achieve academically to the best of their ability
- model appropriate manners and courtesy to staff and students as listed in our Manners Policy
- participate in all College activities related to their scholarship
- demonstrate appropriate sportsmanship at all times
- act as ambassadors for Aranmore when visiting other schools or meeting with visitors to the College
- be role models for their peers
Academic Support
In awarding sport scholarships to students, Aranmore commits itself to assist those students in gaining standards of excellence in their academic work as well. The kind of assistance available includes help for them;
- to prepare study or time management plans
- to assess progress in their more challenging subjects
- to set step-by-step improvement benchmarks in subjects where they could be 'at risk' of failing
- to evaluate their commitment to the overall college expectations of scholarship holders.

Bursary Educational Encouragement Program (BEEP)
The College is offering Bursary Educational Encouragement Program (BEEP) because of its clearly articulated commitment to working with Aboriginal people and to provide assistance to help further the career opportunities for young Aboriginal people.
Bursary Educational Encouragement Program at Aranmore is funded by the College. The College, therefore, makes a very real and very significant contribution to assisting Aboriginal families with the education of their children.
A review is conducted every semester for each recipient. The value of the bursary is dependent upon the student’s family financial circumstances. All students in the program must apply for Abstudy.
Please download the Bursary Educational Encouragement Program (BEEP) information document to learn more about this opportunity.
