Last Thursday, thirty-eight students were awarded nearly $80,000 worth of scholarships at the College.
Following the acknowledgement to country by Kirra Dyer, the Master welcomed the Chair and Board members, donors and friends, conveying her appreciation on behalf of our students here who value greatly, the generosity of those who have established scholarships and continue to support the College in so many ways, without asking for anything in return.
Ms Alwyn said “ for generations, financial support and assistance through scholarships, prizes and grants has always been vital for students, however more now than ever before to ensure that talented students from lower SES backgrounds are supported to succeed, and to enable all students to reach their full potential so that they can explore all the opportunities that life as a university student offers. As a College, we have a responsibility to ensure that our future leaders come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences and scholarships are just one way to enable that to happen”.
