This scholarship is available for external students only who are entering Years 9 – 11. These students have already demonstrated leadership in their local community and display a capacity and drive to influence the College Community positively through leadership.

Eligibility for a leadership scholarship at Bishop Tyrrell Anglican College is based on a combination of academic excellence, intellectual curiosity, leadership qualities, and a genuine commitment to learning and personal growth.
