Sports College SA Scholarships
SCSA and our partners are pleased to announce that Scholarships are available for Year 11 and 12 Students in South Australia for the 2026 academic year. Scholarship applications are welcome by any students who are offered a place within one of our programs.
Scholarships are open to all SCSA applicants who meet the criteria. Additionally, there are First Nations Scholarships available. Indigenous young people who are passionate about sport are highly encouraged to apply. The four Scholarships available are Excellence, Equity, Female and First Nations.
Scholarship students, in addition to completing senior secondary education with the College, will have the opportunity to undertake high-quality personal development at the College.
This development will be accessible in a supportive learning environment that enables all to build up a portfolio of work and academic skills, through hands-on learning, linked strongly to the sport and recreation industry. Further, all will have significant opportunities to develop networks, unique experiences and create a planned, personalised and suitable pathway to employment and/or higher education.

“Even if we had all the money in the world, there’s no other school we’d send our daughter to. It’s the best decision we ever made, everyone has noticed a difference in her confidence and leadership. The flexibility and personalisation of the program and 1:1 support have made all the difference.”
