In very exceptional circumstances, students entering St Paul’s may be enrolled at a different metropolitan university, but only if coming from outside suburban Sydney. Offers of places are made conditional upon you gaining entry to the desired degree course indicated in your application.

The College seeks accomplished, community-minded, and energetic men and women engaged in undergraduate studies. All aspects of applicants’ achievements are taken into account, including character, academic commitment and record, intellectual curiosity, extra-curricular involvement, community service, and the desire to be involved deeply in the life of the College community.

To apply, please complete the Application Form below and pay the $200 Application Fee.

Once we have received your application the Registrar may invite you to attend an interview at the College. A Zoom interview can be arranged for candidates who live out outside Sydney or overseas.

Applications for places in the undergraduate College open in the year preceding entry.

Bursaries and Academic Awards

Each year the College awards a significant number of Academic Awards and Bursaries with a range in value. Academic Awards (currently $5,000 remission of fees annually) are awarded each year automatically on the basis of excellent academic achievement, thus no application is necessary. Bursaries are awarded on the basis of financial need and applicants are required to demonstrate that, without a bursary, they would be unable to afford the fees. (Parents’ capacity to pay is the key determinant.) All bursaries are awarded for 12 months in the first instance and recipients must reapply each year for renewal, which is subject to good academic progress, satisfactory conduct and contribution to the life of the College.

Please note: Bursary applications may be sent either together with the admission application, or separately, but must be received before 12th November in the year preceding entry.
