A letter to the Principal requesting consideration for the Nina Barden Scholarship, together with academic transcripts and a portfolio/resume should be received by the end of March each year.

To be eligible, an applicant must have graduated from Kambala after completing the HSC (or its equivalent) and be at least 20 years of age but no more than 30 years of age on the closing date of applications.
