Acer Scholarship
ACER/IGNITE Scholarship Preperation Classes
The ACER Scholarship Tests consist of a series of academic ability tests used to select students for the award of a scholarship, used by approximately 250 independent schools across Australia. The tests require students to demonstrate a range of skills such as the ability to interpret, infer, deduce and think critically. They are not curriculum based and do not test the ability to retrieve learned knowledge.
For succesfful applicants, the financial stipend rewards to successful students can be substantial, up to 100% of the school fees with approximately $75,800 savings per child over the course of their secondary schooling. Intense preparation from students are certainly required in order to be a competitive candidate in these tests.
Our 3+1 ACER/IGNITE scholarhip preparation programmes, consist of a range of accelerated tuition programmes throughout the year to help students to expand their knowledge, and a consistent training over the year.
