St Andrew's College Regulus November 2014

Scholarships change lives. So notes one of the donors
assisting the Step Into Our Future campaign in an
innovative way – engaging the St Andrew’s College
community in a funding ‘challenge’ for an enabling
scholarship.
From December 2014 until 31 December 2015, all
gifts and pledges made towards the new Endeavour
Scholarship will be matched dollar for dollar. An
endowment that fuels this on-going scholarship for
a young student of academic and co-curricular merit
with proven financial need, will be created through this
innovative ‘challenge’.
Our principal Endeavour Scholarship donor has seen
how the talent and passion in the St Andrew’s College
staff especially shapes the life of each student “This
inspiration and influence from a St Andrew’s College
education carries on way past secondary school,”
he says. “I felt that this was a good way to support
the College while enabling a student who could not
otherwise afford tuition fees, giving that family the
means to join our StAC family.”
Gifts of $100 or more will be matched dollar for dollar.
Your collective generosity will endow the Endeavour
Scholarship with at least $200,000, to be held and
invested by the St Andrew’s College Foundation. The
aim is to award the first Endeavour Scholarship in 2016.
“Ideally I’d like to remind those of us close to the
College – particularly teaching staff – how an
education and our St Andrew’s culture shapes young
lives and their families,” says our donor. So each gift,
over $100, will be doubled. The total can thus enrich
both the diversity within our College and a student and
family from our larger community.”
Your gift will make the Endeavour Scholarship happen.
