SPECIAL FEE ARRANGEMENTS
Catherine McAuley was the foundress of the Sisters of Mercy and a truly inspirational woman. Her vision for the education of all women and children continues to provide guidance to the College today.
The College assists families in the following ways by providing special fee arrangements to families who are experiencing financial difficulties.
- BURSARIES
Our Catherine McAuley Bursary is for families, of current students, attending Santa Maria College, who require financial assistance and hold a valid Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card. - FINANCIAL HARDSHIP CONCESSION
Families who are experiencing financial hardship may apply for short-term financial assistance through a Financial Hardship Concession. These concessions are for families who require short-term financial assistance with fees.
Bursaries and Concession are not continuous and require the family to reapply each year if further assistance is needed. Applications are accessed on an individual basis and a meeting with the Business Manager is required before the assessment is reviewed.
Please note bursaries close on 1 April of the current year and are not available for Years 5, 6, 7, or in the first year at the College.
