Each year, Pioneer State High School’s Parents' and Citizens' Association offers scholarships to outstanding Year 6 students. Students must attend a state primary school and intend on enrolling at Pioneer in Year 7.
Each year, scholarships are presented can include:
academic scholarships
cultural scholarships
sporting scholarships
allrounder scholarships
Scholarship applications close at the end of Term 3 each year and are announced early in Term 4. Successful recipients are presented with their scholarships at Pioneer's annual Awards Night in Term 4 prior to entering Year 7 the following year.
Forms can also be collected from our school office or from our partner primary schools. The principal will visit local state schools in Term 3 to provide further information to prospective students.
Scholarship recipients have their name added to our honour board and have $200 credit per year to the students account for three years to offset students fees. They receive free field excursions in the Mackay area in Years 7, 8 and 9 and free entry into national academic competitions. They also receive a one-off contribution of $200 for school uniforms in Year 7
