A Wilderness Tuition Scholarship will provide your daughter with every opportunity to achieve her personal best and to become an independent and responsible young woman, able to take her place confidently in the world beyond school.
Each year we are able to offer a limited number of scholarships to girls who have demonstrated outstanding academic ability, a commitment to pursuing further academic success, who embody the School Values and in turn make a significant contribution to the life of the School.
We invite you and your daughter to take advantage of this very special opportunity.
