For Resident Students

Scholarships enable outstanding students who could not otherwise afford to do so to gain the benefits of being a resident or non-resident student at Trinity College. They also recognise the academic merit and other talents of students.

Towards this, the generosity of many donors - including past scholarship winners - makes possible the scholarships listed here. Providing more, and more generous, scholarships is one of the central purposes of Trinity's fund-raising endeavours.

In most cases, the scholarships are named after a benefactor or a person in whose memory or honour a scholarship has been endowed. Most, but not all, benefactors have been Trinity students, or relatives of Trinity students, and wish to help others share in the Trinity experience from which they gained so much.

It is hoped that scholarship winners will be determined that, when later in life they are in a position to do so, they will provide opportunities for future generations of students in the same way that past benefactors have provided support for them.

The terms of scholarships are generally as specified by their donors and agreed by the College.

Except where otherwise stated, scholarships will usually be awarded on the basis of academic excellence, personal qualities, likely contribution which the scholar can make to the College, and financial need. The College retains the right not to make awards, and to make awards to students who have not applied for specific scholarships.

Trinity College also offers scholarships to Melbourne Access Program (MAP) students,  Indigenous students, ex-Trinity College Foundation Studies students, students in later years, and for students of Theology, as well as Choral and Organ scholarships.
