Catalyst Scholarships

At Catalyst Chemistry, we believe in equal opportunity and the importance of role models.

Our scholarship program exists to bridge these pain points.

Who we are looking for

Each term, we look for bright, engaged students studying HSC chemistry with a love of learning, a curiosity about the world and a passion to do amazing things in the near future.

Students who fit these criteria may be eligible for a scholarship covering up to 100% of their tuition all the way through until the day of the HSC!

Priority will be given to students who are:

  • High achieving

  • Self-motivated

  • A strong voice in their school communities


Special consideration may be given to students who are:

  • Low SES or facing significant financial hardship

  • Rural/Remote

  • Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander

Application Process


  • The application process consists of a written application with a short video component.

  • Offers will be released in batches until the new term begins.
