Support St Andrew's in 2023

Means-Tested Scholarships

Means-tested scholarships play a vital role in enabling students from diverse backgrounds, who possess immense talent and motivation, to attend College and university in Sydney. Your gift, no matter the size, makes a difference and helps to create life-changing opportunities. This year, our focus is on supporting students most affected by financial barriers by providing more of the following scholarships:

Rural & Regional Scholarships

With over half of our current student body hailing from rural and regional areas, and over 60% of the applications for financial support originating from them, it is clear that these scholarships are life-changing for so many of our students. Your support can enable us to continue to provide these scholarships, helping create equal opportunities for rural and regional Australians.

Indigenous Scholarships

We recognise that access to higher education is vital to empowering Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and promoting equality. By providing more scholarship opportunities, we can break down the financial barriers that prevent many indigenous students from realising their academic and career goals.

Government School Scholarships

These scholarships are about ensuring equity and access to education. By removing barriers to tertiary education created by social and economic disadvantage, we can provide students from government schools with opportunities to pursue tertiary aspirations in a safe and supportive environment.

Main Building Bedroom Refurbishment Project

This project will see the 86 heritage bedrooms in the Main Building undergo significant renovations, bringing them in line with the high calibre of the rest of the bedrooms across the College and providing all students with modern amenities. In collaboration with architects, interior designers and construction experts, three bedrooms have been upgraded as initial prototypes and are being enjoyed and evaluated by their current occupants.

The refurbishment will include new desk and bed furnishings, extra and improved storage spaces, underfloor heating, ceiling fans, and an overall design complimentary to the building’s heritage. Refurbishment of the remaining 83 rooms will be completed in stages, and we need your help to make this project a reality to ensure all of our students are given a place they can make their own.
