Your valuable donations to the St Leonard’s College ASPIRE Scholarship program enables worthy young people the opportunity to receive an education for life.”

Thanks to the support of donors throughout our history, many students have been provided with the opportunity of a St Leonard’s College education.

Through our Leonardian, Global Citizen and Indigenous Scholarships, young people whose life circumstances present barriers to success have enjoyed the benefits of a first-class secondary education at St Leonard’s. These life-changing scholarships open doors for students and equip them to create change for themselves, their families, their communities and their world.

As a very fortunate community, we are aware that with great privilege comes great responsibility. We are committed to extending opportunities to more young women and men who have not enjoyed the favourable life circumstances of most within our community. A gift to the Scholarship Fund is an investment in the life of a young person and their future and will leave a lasting legacy for years to come
