Glasgow McDowall Rural Bursary

This bursary is provided by the McDowall family for the benefit of a regional, rural or remote Australian student entering Year 10 and is offered for a 3 year period from Year 10 until Year 12.  

It is designed to support such students to access a far greater selection of subjects and extra-curricular activities through assisting with the additional costs incurred in completing senior schooling. The bursary provision is $12 000 per annum for Year 10, 11 and 12.

Potential recipients will be students who:

• live in a regional, rural or remote area of Australia and do not have easy access to a local school which provides education for senior school.
• need to board away from home in order to access a high  quality secondary education.
• wish to continue their education after completing their secondary education and demonstrate the ability to do so.
• commit to wholehearted engagement in College life and respectful adherence to College expectations.
