Is your child achieving excellent results, a passionate musician or performer? Are they an athlete or leader looking to grow their skills? If your child is doing well at school, it’s natural for parents to look at ways to provide their children with as much potential for growth as possible. This opportunity can often be achieved with a scholarship. Pacific Lutheran College on the Sunshine Coast offers a range of scholarships for local high-achieving kids.
