Scholarships have been a consistent part of Ballarat and Queen’s Anglican Grammar School’s history. Scholarships have been awarded since 1911. There have been many examples of philanthropic support for students who may otherwise have been unable to attend school or assistance for those whose families had fallen on difficult times.

Through the provision of Scholarships, Ballarat Grammar is able to offer and encourage a diversity of student life which is one of the fundamental strengths of our educational offering to students and families.

Named Scholarship and Bursary funds include The Rob and Di Olston Boarding Scholarship Fund and The Ford Guthrie Scholarship Fund. See our Named Scholarships page for more information.

Please browse our Scholarships information brochure on how scholarship donations play an important role at the School.

Whilst all levels of support to the Building Fund are gratefully received and acknowledged, this Fund often provides for significant projects identified by the Headmaster and Board as pivotal to the ongoing delivery of the educational program within the School and as such major gifts are often sought. These gifts may range from $1,000 to more than $1,000,000. They are often pledged over a number of years.

A fine example of the scope of the Building Fund is the Wendouree Centre for Performing Arts, the largest single project undertaken in the School’s history to date.

Generations of Ballarat and Queen’s Anglican Grammar School families and students have benefited from the generosity of men and women who, over the years, have bequeathed gifts to the School or to the School’s Foundation.

These gifts have had a significant impact on the lives of Grammarians, through scholarship opportunities, by developing teaching and learning facilities, and by supporting staff and the School’s programs.

A gift in a will can be a meaningful way of saying thank you, honouring a loved one, recognising a valued member of staff or friend, investing in the future, or providing a Ballarat and Queen’s Anglican Grammar School education for those who otherwise may not be able to join our community.

Bequests are contained within a will and may take several forms, including provision for a scholarship or a particular area of study within the School’s educational program or may be allocated at the discretion of the School. A bequest can stipulate defined personal assets such as property, fixed sums or a percentage of an estate.

“In the quest for a life well lived, we are sometimes afforded opportunity to make a positive difference; a difference to the lives of loved ones, to our communities and to the world around us. Rarely are we offered the opportunity to bring our positive influence to perpetuity. Yours will be a gift that gives to future generations of fine young people. Yours will be a gift that helps provide transformative educational experiences for the next generation. Their future, our opportunity. I welcome you to join us.”

Adam Heath, Headmaster
