  1. General Excellence Awards offer a reduction of up to 50% of the net tuition fees, for the duration of the student’s secondary education. All other fees and charges are payable in full.
  2. The School reserves the right not to offer an Award if the standard of those presenting does not warrant it doing so.
  3. Recipients of Awards are expected to attain a generally high academic standard and the student should be actively involved in the various co-curricular activities of the School.
  4. Periodic reviews of the Award will be conducted to verify satisfactory progress and participation. In exceptional circumstances the Award may be terminated by the Principal.
  5. It is our expectation that recipients of the General Excellence Awards will complete their Secondary Education at Ivanhoe Grammar School. The School reserves the right to ask for reimbursement to the value of the Award if the student leaves the School prior to Year 10.
  6. If a General Excellence Award is offered and accepted, the Admissions Office will guide families through the enrolment process. Families are given 7 days from the date of the Letter of Offer to finalise the non-refundable Capital Levy payment (if not already paid) and 14 days after that, a $4,900 non-refundable tuition fee deposit is invoiced. The tuition fee deposit will be deducted from the February 2026 tuition fee instalment.
