Fees & Scholarships
Fees
Sydney Adventist College is committed to making quality Christian education affordable to as many students as possible, and for many families, private school fees can be a significant investment. For this reason we provide substantial sibling discounts to assist families, as well as employer subsidies and a generous scholarship program. Prompt payment discounts are also available.
Recognising that some families experience short term financial hardship, Sydney Adventist College has limited funding available to assist families experiencing such difficulties. We are dedicated to ensure that financial hardship is not the primary reason for students being unable to attend or remain at our College. Families wishing to make application for student aid should arrange an interview with the Principal.
