OPENING DOORS Through Scholarships
At St Catherine’s School, we believe that exceptional education should be accessible to all, regardless of geographic, economic, or cultural barriers. Our commitment to diversity, inclusion, and opportunity is deeply embedded in our values, and it is through the provision of scholarships that we can truly bring this vision to life.
Why Scholarships Matter
Scholarships do more than offer financial assistance, they change lives. They open doors to a future rich in learning, leadership, and personal growth, offering deserving young women access to a world-class education they might not otherwise experience.
To ensure that these opportunities remain available for generations to come, building our scholarship endowment is essential. A strong endowment provides a permanent source of funding, allowing the School to offer consistent, sustainable support to students year after year. It is a legacy of generosity that secures the future of scholarships at St Catherine’s and amplifies the long-term impact of every gift.
A scholarship at St Catherine’s provides more than just a seat in a classroom. It offers:
• Access to outstanding academic programs
• Participation in a vibrant co-curricular and performing arts culture
• Mentorship from dedicated educators and inspiring alumnae
• A nurturing environment that fosters confidence, curiosity, and courage
• The opportunity to transcend barriers and fulfill one’s full potential
OUR SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS
First Nations
St Catherine’s is committed to playing an active role in the reconciliation journey by offering educational opportunities to Indigenous students. These scholarships provide a culturally sensitive and supportive environment where students are empowered to thrive, while also enriching our school community with diverse voices and perspectives.
Regional & Rural
For families living in regional and remote communities, access to life-changing education can be limited. Our Regional & Rural Scholarships ensure that talented girls from across Australia can experience the breadth and depth of a St Catherine’s education, regardless of their postcode. These students bring unique life experiences, and an enhanced sense of what it means to belong to a community, to our School.
Access
These scholarships extend support to students who demonstrate potential, commitment, and a passion for learning. Whether academically gifted, creatively driven, or community-minded, recipients of Access Scholarships are given the opportunity to realise their potential and become future changemakers.
How You Can Help
Your support will provide transformational opportunities, for students, their families, and the communities they represent. By contributing to our scholarship fund, you become part of a powerful story: one of access, equity, excellence, and empowerment.
