Complete the scholarship application form which clearly states your daughter’s most recent achievements, along with a copy of her two latest school reports and email these to admissions@diocesan.school.nz. Please mark this with ‘Scholarship application 2023’ in the subject line.

This form is to be completed by your daughter's Teacher/Dean and emailed by them directly to admissions@diocesan.school.nz.

Once we have received your application, we will acknowledge it so you know it is safely with us. At this stage we may request further information from you or your current teacher.

Following the review of all applications, selected applicants will be invited for an interview and/or audition.

Late applications will not be considered.

Please note Diocesan School for Girls has a policy of awarding one scholarship per student, so if you are awarded a School Scholarship you are not eligible for an Innes House Trust Boarding Scholarship.
