Over 50 new and returning St Mark’s students were recently awarded a range of scholarships, grants and prizes for academic achievement, contribution to the community, specific needs, talent, living circumstances and financial need.
In welcoming scholarship donors and other benefactors, students, families and other members of the College community, the Master spoke of the increasing cost of a quality education on families and students themselves. She said that the value of Scholarships cannot be overstated in the context of providing access to a College and University experience that ensures a smooth transition, from school to university.
“College life is amazing! St Mark’s has helped me to make the transition from school to university life whilst making me feel comfortable after moving out of home for the first time. Receiving a scholarship at St Mark’s has not only lessened the financial burden for me but has enabled me to stay for another year! College has been one of the best experiences of my life – I represented the College Club at the National Association of University Colleges conference in Sydney last year and was elected to the Committee as the Sports Officer for 2017. I cannot thank the College enough for the academic support, the opportunity to play sport, have an exciting social life and be part of a community that embraces a healthy balance to life.” Brayden Jenke, Renmark, Mechanical Engineering, University of Adelaide. Recipient of Cowan Continuing Grant 2017.
