Loreto Normanhurst is committed to providing support to families through the provision of Bursaries and Indigenous Scholarships.
Bursaries and Scholarships
Bursaries and Scholarships
Through this support we expand accessibility of the holistic education that Mary Ward envisioned for all young women to students who could otherwise not afford a Loreto Normanhurst education.
Unlike many other schools, Loreto Normanhurst does not offer Academic, Sporting, or Music scholarships. We consider these talents in assessment of applications for all enrolments as an indication of the student’s ability to contribute to the holistic learning that is so integral to a Loreto Normanhurst education.
Bursaries
Bursaries are open to day and boarding students new to Loreto Normanhurst seeking entry in Year 7 to 11.
Bursary applications for those seeking entry in 2025 have now closed.
In any given year we have families who find themselves in necessitous circumstances, including those affected by drought, bushfires, and the Covid-19 pandemic.
Bursary assistance with respect to tuition and/or boarding fees and the exact amount approved varies from case to case.
Once students have commenced at Loreto Normanhurst they are no longer eligible to apply for a bursary.
All expressions of interest in a bursary must be indicated on the Application for Enrolment in order to be included in the bursary application process. If you have not already waitlisted your application for enrolment please do so HERE.
All bursary applications are subject to the successful completion of the Loreto Normanhurst enrolment process.
Bursary applications open in Term 1 of the year preceding commencement and those that have expressed interest in a bursary will be invited to participate in the bursary application process.

Loreto Normanhurst offers Indigenous Scholarships each year to a limited number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students who are seeking to maximise their educational outcomes as part of our First Nations Program.
This program is supported by generous donations to the School’s Indigenous Scholarship Fund and in its partnership with the Australian Indigenous Education Foundation (AIEF).
Indigenous Scholarships are available to students new to Loreto Normanhurst seeking entry as a Year 7 boarding student.
The Indigenous Scholarship covers tuition, boarding fees and some incidental expenses and may be full or partial.
