Bursaries

The Old Haleians’ Association has always played an important role in contributing to the aims and welfare of Hale School and its students. Since the 1960s, this positive support and involvement has included the Association funding a Bursary scheme. This funding is available to parents whose financial circumstances pose difficulties in meeting the costs of independent education at Hale. The Bursaries enable the continued education of boys who would enrich Hale School and our community by attending the School. Bursaries are provided on a confidential basis with initial requests directed to the Secretary of the OHA. Many outstanding boys have attended Hale as a result of this opportunity.

Lister Drake Scholarship

This scholarship was established in 1995 with the assistance of funds bequeathed from the estate of former Deputy Headmaster, Mr Lister Drake. The scholarship is for Years 11 and 12 to the value of 25% tuition fees. The scholarship is awarded based on an eligibility criterion that candidates must be the sons or grandsons of Old Boys of the School. The candidate is not required to be currently attending Hale. It is predominantly determined on the basis of performance in an external examination ( currently ACER - Level 3 ) held each year in May. The awarding of this honour is publicly acknowledged. Applications to be directed to the Registrar’s Office.
