Auckland Girls’ Grammar School offers a range of internal scholarships to support our students both during their time with us and when transitioning to tertiary studies. These scholarships, generously provided by former principals, staff, and students, are designed to assist with financial needs, recognize academic potential, and reward contributions to school life.
We also work closely with students to improve their chances of acceptance to leading universities, many of which offer prestigious scholarships. Our expert Careers Advisor assists students with their applications for university placements and financial scholarships.
Scholarships are available by application or are awarded to students. Current students are notified when applications are open, except for The Cotter Trust – Entry Scholarship, which can be applied for during enrolment for Year 9.
