At Southern Vales Christian College, we partner with parents in an endeavour to have each child reach their full potential. We pride ourselves on serving the South with outstanding Christian Education. Every child at our college is treasured and their education valued. Therefore, we are excited to provide the following scholarships for students from Years 5 to 12, beginning in 2026. 

We offer four scholarships:

• Academic

• The Arts

• Sport

• Hospitality

Scholarships are available at both Morphett Vale and Aldinga campuses. We welcome both internal and external applicants.

Tuition discounts offered will be determined during the scholarship application process.

Each scholarship length is for a maximum of two years. Students can reapply after this period. 

Requirements for all scholarships:

• No Additional Scholarships: The student may not accept additional scholarships that conflict with their obligations under this agreement unless approved by the College.

• Injury or Illness Clause: In the event of injury or illness that prevents the student from fulfilling their obligations, the College will review the circumstances and determine appropriate adjustments or continued eligibility for the scholarship.

• Non-Disclosure: Details of the scholarship (including its value and terms) should not be disclosed to other students or families without the College’s written consent.

This scholarship will celebrate and support a student’s potential and provide opportunities to deeper explore their passions.
