The Presbyterian and Methodist Schools Association (PMSA) and Sunshine Coast Grammar School are committed to supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students through our Indigenous Scholarship and Bursary Program.

The program aims to provide opportunities for Indigenous students to access a Sunshine Coast Grammar education, recognising that every family's circumstances are unique. Applications are welcomed from eligible families and are considered on a case-by-case basis, with scholarships and bursaries awarded at the Principal's discretion.

Families interested in applying are encouraged to contact the Scholarship team at scholarships@scgs.qld.edu.au to discuss their circumstances and the application process. All enquiries and applications are treated with sensitivity and confidentiality.

In addition to financial support, Sunshine Coast Grammar is committed to fostering a culturally inclusive environment where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories, cultures and perspectives are valued and celebrated. While the School does not operate a standalone Indigenous education program, Indigenous perspectives are embedded throughout school life through initiatives such as:

• First Nations Student Ambassadors;
• Recognition and celebration of significant cultural events and days of significance;
• Guest presenters and cultural educators;
• Curriculum experiences that incorporate Indigenous perspectives across a range of learning areas.

These initiatives reflect our commitment to creating a respectful, inclusive and culturally rich learning environment where all students are encouraged to learn from and appreciate Australia's First Nations cultures. In addition to this program, eligible senior students may also be able to access external funding opportunities such as the Queensland Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Foundation (QATSIF), subject to eligibility requirements.
