Key Criteria for Receiving a First Nations Scholarship
As per Equity Scholarship Applications, the following criteria are also considered in the assessment of First Nations Scholarship applications:

- Congruence with Catholic Values
- Contribute to the School Community
Eligible for ABSTUDY
The student must be eligible for ABSTUDY to attend AIEF partner schools.
Congruence with Catholic Values
Congruence with Catholic values and the ethos of the School. This will generally include consideration of factors such as baptism into the Catholic faith, family connection with Loreto Normanhurst, families whose values are congruent with those of Loreto Normanhurst and/or level of involvement of the Applicant and her family in their Catholic parish or faith community and commitment to Christian life and values.
Contribute to the School Community
Priority will be given to students and families who will be significant contributors to the School community. The focus will be on generous endeavours in a variety of fields, rather than any notable academic or extra-curricular talent.
