The College offers a range of scholarships across academic, boarding, music/performing arts, and general excellence, funded by donors through the Prince Alfred College Foundation Scholarship Fund. There are many named scholarships (e.g., Brett Gooden Space Science Scholarship, Brett Williamson Scholarship, Indigenous Scholarships, and others) and additional information about donating or establishing a scholarship is available through the Foundation. Not all scholarships are offered every year; awarding depends on the number of students currently on a scholarship and whether a suitable candidate applies. Scholarships are usually awarded by the end of a student's schooling (Year 12) and the process for entry starts in the year prior to commencement. Scholarships may be awarded in two rounds: Round 1 opens in October and closes in January; Round 2 opens in June and closes in mid‑July, with interviews typically in August. Interviews are conducted by two members of the College Executive, and all applicants are informed of progress. Scholarships can be selected for General Excellence, Music/Performing Arts, Chess, or Boarding, and applicants do not need to apply for a specific named scholarship. Academic Scholarships are offered via the ACER examination for Year 5 and Year 7 applicants, and some scholarships (including Boarding) are awarded based on merit through a competitive process that may include testing, interviews, and references. In Year 7, up to three full Academic Scholarships are offered; other scholarships may be awarded up to 100% in Years 8–11. Most scholarships contribute a portion of the fees (commonly 50%; some 25%; some Academic Scholarships can be up to 100%), and they do not cover uniforms, textbooks, or other sundry charges. An acceptance fee of A$1,250 is required to accept a scholarship. Indigenous Scholarships are linked to The Smith Family's Indigenous Youth Leadership Program (IYLP), with applications typically closing in May; applicants should check with PAC Admissions before applying. Overseas applicants may apply if they hold Australian residency. Scholarships by age specify which options are available for entry years (e.g., Year 5 scholarships for Year 4 entrants; Year 7 scholarships for Year 6 entrants; and Year 8–11 scholarships for Year 7–10 entrants). The majority of information about scholarships, eligibility, and the application process is available through the Scholarship FAQs, the List of Scholarships, and the ACER Examinations guidance. For full details on each scholarship category, required documents, and timelines, see the Scholarships resources and the ACER examinations section.

The College participates in safeguarding frameworks indicated by CESA Safe Environments for All.
Step 1. Submit an enrolment application using electronic enrolment forms. The enrolment forms are electronic and College Registrars, the Director of Wellbeing, and Heads of School work with families to support and encourage student enrolments. Information about College entry requirements, courses, and programs is accessible to prospective families to help them make informed choices. The process is designed to be inclusive and free from discrimination.
Step 2. Enrolment Priority Criteria are used when demand exceeds available enrolment positions. Offers of admission are presented in the priority order: siblings of students already enrolled; scholarship recipients; children of Mercedes College old scholars; children of Mercedes College staff; Catholic families (including those who have attended regional parish schools); children of denominations other than Catholic; and others, in order of enrolment application. The Principal uses discretion in applying the criteria to make the final decision. On acceptance of enrolment, families agree to comply with the college's Enrolment Terms and Conditions.
Step 3. Language and admissions. A language profile is created during the application process based on home language and prior language experience. Students for whom English is an additional language may require English support or bridging English; language placement will be determined and may involve additional language study. Undertaking an additional language is a requirement of the IB program, and language proficiency is assessed during admissions to determine appropriate placement. This ensures students access the curriculum.
Step 4. Senior years admissions. Enrolment in senior years (Year 10 to Year 12) is subject to the approval of the IB Diploma and SACE Coordinators to ensure program pattern requirements are met. Transferring from other IB Diploma schools requires providing contact details for the previous Diploma Coordinator. In addition to Religious Education, students are expected to participate in all compulsory aspects of the college's learning programs.
Step 5. Inclusion and access. Mercedes College is committed to inclusive practices and provides access to learning for all enrolled students. Where a student has a disability or learning or well-being needs, adjustments may be made to the usual admissions process, including transition visits, development of a Personalised Plan, and collaboration with external professionals or health providers. The college will provide support and structures to foster access to learning programs and will monitor and evaluate its efforts to provide equal opportunities.
Step 6. Acceptance and partnership. On acceptance of enrolment, families are expected to partner with the college and uphold the college's policies, rules and procedures as outlined in the Enrolment Terms and Conditions.
Step 7. Scholarships. A scholarship is a fee remission for a predetermined length of time. A limited number of scholarships are available in Year 10 for qualified applicants. Applicants wishing to apply for a scholarship complete the relevant Scholarship Application Form.
