The escalating cost of education in Victoria is placing growing pressure on families across the state. According to recent insights, Victorian parents are now contending with some of the highest education expenses in Australia, driven by increasing fees, uniforms, textbooks, and extracurricular costs. To compound this problem, one in three Victorian school students fail to meet basic literacy and numeracy standards. For many, ensuring their children receive a quality education is becoming an uphill financial battle, particularly in the face of limited government support under current policies.
In this challenging environment, school scholarships present a beacon of hope for families. Scholarships can significantly reduce education-related expenses by covering tuition fees or providing funding for educational materials. They not only alleviate financial stress but also ensure students have access to high-quality learning opportunities based on merit and potential, rather than their family’s financial circumstances.
For students aiming to secure scholarships, thorough preparation is essential. This is where specialised tutoring can make a significant difference. With expert tutoring, personalised study plans, and access to comprehensive practice exams, Strive for Excellence equips students with the skills and confidence needed to excel in scholarship tests. Our 1-on-1 approach ensures each student is fully prepared to maximise their chances of success.
