Overview
The Betty and Sheila Daley, and Hutchinson Fittock Isolated Children’s Boarding bursaries are considered for girls from a remote area who demonstrate a strong desire to attend St Hilda’s School and whose families may require additional assistance to provide the opportunity for their girls to become a part of and contribute to the St Hilda’s School community in Years 7 and 10.
The Scholarship provides part remission of boarding fees, for the successful recipient.
