With previous partnerships allowing for financial support of our students through such group as the William Angliss Charitable Fund, the Collier Foundation and the Myer Foundation, we are always looking for new opportunities to support our students while also linking in with established organisations and networks.
These partnerships, along with our bursary funds mean that even if you are not eligible for one of the existing St Hilda’s College scholarships, we may be able to provide you with financial assistance through one of these additional funds.
We also encourage all students to visit The University of Melbourne’s Access Melbourne website to see whether you are eligible for any assistance in relation to both financial aid and/or course admission. You can use the QR code below to visit Access Melbourne.
