The Barry Plant Rowville Lysterfield Scholarship offers five annual scholarships to Year 6 students from the local primary schools who are enrolled to attend Rowville Secondary College the following year.

One prospective student from Heany Park, Karoo, Lysterfield, Park Ridge and Rowville Primary Schools will be eligible to receive one of five $250 scholarships.

The Barry Plant Scholarship aims to acknowledge and reward those students who have displayed outstanding excellence in either academic studies, leadership, community service, performing arts or sports. The scholarship aims to encourage further learning and development in these areas, with each recipient receiving $250 as a contribution towards their schooling fees for Year 7.

Applications for the scholarship are distributed to each primary school during Term 4, followed by an interview process for short-listed applicants.
