ABOUT THIS PROJECT

Our thanks to the many donors who have supported those students who otherwise might not have been able to access a Jesuit education. Many of these students achieve highly and go on to serve the wider community.

The Ignatius Education Fund is a Scholarship and Bursary fund which aims to ensure that a Jesuit education remains within the financial scope of as wide a cross-section of the Catholic community as possible. Both Scholarships and Bursaries are tax deductible.

It is envisaged that, within the next five years, the Ignatius Education Fund will have the capacity to fund all College Scholarships and Bursaries. At present 6% of students at the College receive financial assistance and the College Council’s aim is to increase it to 10% in the next few years in accordance with a request from the Jesuit Provincial

    LUKE TENGSTROM (OX 2010) Boarding Scholarship Recipient 2007

    Luke Tengstrom came to Xavier in Year 9 2007 as a boarder on a Scholarship from Finley, a small country town on the Victoria-NSW border. Luke’s parents had started a small food wholesaling company and without the financial assistance provided by the Scholarship, he knew that Xavier would not have been an option for him. He remains mindful of what a big decision and sacrifice it was for his family to send him to Xavier as a boarder, even on a Scholarship.
