Lutheran Education Queensland Buchholz Secondary Schooling Scholarships
The Buchholz Secondary Schooling Scholarships have been made available due to the generosity of the late Lesvey Valerie Buchholz who left the bulk of her estate to the Lutheran Church of Australia Queensland District (LCAQD) to provide the opportunity for as many students as possible to attend a Lutheran secondary school who would otherwise be precluded from doing so due to financial hardship.
The scholarships are awarded for the length of the child’s secondary education up to a maximum of six years (Years 7-12). It is ongoing in nature; covering the period of secondary schooling until the recipient graduates, is withdrawn, or has their enrolment cancelled by the school for which the scholarship is granted.
It covers annual tuition fees, inclusive of compulsory levies, at a level of between 25-50% up to a maximum of $5,000, depending on the capacity of the family to contribute to their child’s education, and on the Bequest funds available.
Applications for 2027 Buccholz Scholarships are not yet open.
