Our scholarship program exists to support diversity and to ensure that an education at Seymour is accessible to as wide a range of students as possible.
Seymour College is seeking aspirational young women with a diversity of interests, abilities, backgrounds and a natural curiosity of the world, to contribute to the depth of our community.
Each year, we offer places to those girls who have a demonstrated ability and to those who embody the Seymour College values of excellence, respect and innovation within an overall commitment to contribute to our community.
