ADD-ON for live post private-school-scholarships-australia-complete-guide — insert these two FAQ entries between "Can my child re-sit a scholarship test?" and "Key takeaways"; do not publish this draft as its own page

Where to put these: in the live post's FAQ section, immediately after the "Can my child re-sit a scholarship test?" answer and before the "## Key takeaways" heading.

Why: AroundSchools' own harvested parent-question store shows 22 phrasings of "do public/government schools give scholarships" and "can a primary school student get a scholarship" that the live FAQ does not answer. See the run report for the evidence.

Do government (public) schools offer scholarships?

Not in the private-school sense. Government schools are tuition-free, so there is no fee to remit, and they do not run the competitive academic-scholarship programs non-government schools do. Needs-based, externally-funded support does exist for public-school students: the Harding Miller Education Foundation scholarship is open to Year 8 girls at Australian public schools facing financial disadvantage, worth $20,000 across four years from Year 9, plus tutoring, a laptop and mentoring — it has supported over 1,500 girls at 400-plus public schools since 2016. The Smith Family's Learning for Life programme supports families holding a Health Care or Pension Concession Card with ongoing help toward uniforms, textbooks and excursions, at government and non-government schools alike. These are needs-based support, not merit-based fee remission — public schools have no fees to waive in the first place.

Can a primary school student get a scholarship?

Yes, though most scholarships concentrate at Year 7 entry. ACER's primary-level scholarship testing covers entry from Year 4, and some schools run a dedicated scholarship at Year 5 entry alongside their main Year 7 intake. If your child is still in primary school, ask the schools on your shortlist which entry years they actually offer scholarships for — it is rarely only Year 7.
