The College provides financial assistance for a number of enrolment opportunities each year for students who display excellence across various endeavours applicable to college life, with the underpinning requirement of both faith and personal character. Such endeavour might be academic, service-oriented, or be associated with the College’s diverse cocurricular program that includes performing and creative arts and sport.

These awards offer part but not total financial support to students based on application to the College. The level of fee support ranges from 40 to 70%.

Some financial information may be required to determine the level of tuition fee support, as will supporting documentation to validate the level of excellence in the applicant’s field/s of endeavour.

The closing date to apply for General Excellence Awards is Wednesday 23 April 2025.

Proceeds from the sale of Xavier College's former Kostka Hall Campus have been allocated to provide part-tuition fee support. This initiative aims to assist families who wish to join the Xavier community but face financial or personal challenges that make access difficult, while not qualifying for a bursary. Accordingly, financial information is required to support the integrity of the application. This is handled with strict confidentiality and discretion to respect the particular circumstances and privacy of the applicant.

The level of tuition fee support ranges from 40 to 60%.

Applicants for a Kostka Exhibition must display a strong commitment to faith and service, academic growth, human (personal) excellence and demonstrate a willingness to contribute to the full life of the College. 

The Exhibitions are also designed to provide access to metropolitan communities of significance to Xavier. Noting the relevance of Kostka Hall to these opportunities, the historical catchment area of Kostka Hall will be an area of priority.

In association with the generosity of the Xavier Foundation, the College is pleased to be able to offer a number of bursaries.

The College Foundation, in conjunction with generous donors, provides funds for a number of named and general bursaries. A bursary provides financial assistance to a family who would otherwise not be in a position to afford the enrolment of their child at the College. Accordingly, financial information is required to support the integrity of the application. This is handled with strict confidentiality and discretion to respect the particular circumstances and privacy of the applicant.

In most cases, these awards provide part but not total financial support. The level of fee support ranges from 25 to 100%.

Families external to the College are welcome to apply for a bursary at any time, although typically they are awarded in one period at the beginning of a school year for a commencement the following academic year.

Unforeseen occurrences, circumstances and tragedies can befall families during the course of their connection within the Xavier Family. The College will consider these on their merits and will do all that it can to support its families during these difficult times. This support might include financial assistance in the payment of school fees (such as reduction or deferment).
