Education is more than just a qualification — it’s a powerful tool that can break the cycle of disadvantage. It opens doors to careers, financial independence, and a brighter future. For the young people we work with, it’s often the difference between continuing a life of hardship or building a future filled with possibilities.

Certain other gifts, real property, personal property, in-kind gifts, non-liquid securities, and contributions whose sources are not transparent or whose use is restricted in some manner, must be reviewed prior to acceptance due to the special obligations raised or liabilities they may pose for Sisters of Charity Foundation.

However, except for gifts of cash and publicly traded securities, no value shall be ascribed to any receipt or other form of substantiation of a gift received by Sisters of Charity Foundation.

Your Christmas gift can change lives

Only around 1% of young people who aren’t able to grow up at home with their parents attend university, compared to 40% of their peers. This gap is a stark reminder of the obstacles they face.

After so much incredible progress with our scholarship program, sadly, this year, we simply don’t have enough funding to provide support to all the young people who will apply for a scholarship in 2025. Despite their potential and determination, many of these students will miss out on the life-changing opportunities that education and being a part of our program can offer.

Without your support, many deserving young people won’t get the chance to pursue a university degree or TAFE diploma.

The following quotes from past and current scholarship recipients show the true value of a scholarship:

“The amount of help you’ve given me has not only improved my financial situation (which was very, very bad before) but my mental state – things can get better.”

“I had three jobs. In total I was working more than 42 hours a week plus studying! I was over the moon when I found out I won the scholarship. I started crying, it was such a happy moment.”

“It took at least an hour to realise that I had actually won the scholarship. I felt seen and supported in a way that I never thought I would. I think many foster kids would understand what I mean when saying that.”
