The 2024 Golf Challenge will be held on Friday 15 November.

We invite you to join St Leonard’s in our commitment to continuing to extend opportunities to students who have recently immigrated to Melbourne with their families.

Students in year 7 and above with sound academic ability and the desire to contribute to the St Leonard’s College are considered for the Global Citizen Scholarship.

The College has a close relationship with the Noble Park English Language Centre but welcomes applications from all eligible families. We now have five students completing their secondary studies supported by this scholarship. These Global Citizen Scholarships provide valuable opportunities to those students and families who would otherwise not be in a position to attend the college.

We would like to thank our previous sponsors for their generous support. We value their ongoing commitment and community spirit.

Our St Leonard’s Scholars are immensely grateful for your support.

Dear St Leonard’s College Community,

In 2023, I’m studying at the University of Melbourne, undertaking my second year of a Bachelor of Arts. I’m really looking forward to subjects in areas such as politics and international relations. My degree gives me the opportunity to learn something new every day about topics I’m passionate about and helps me improve my critical thinking skills. I feel so lucky!

My Global Citizen Scholarship has changed my life for the better. It has given me the opportunity to experience a high-quality education and to meet amazing people. I want to use my personal experiences and my degree to make a positive impact in the future. I hope we as a young generation can make a difference in the world, helping more girls get an education, particularly the millions of girls in Afghanistan who have been banned from attending school.

I am thankful and grateful for such a great opportunity and wish the best to the current and future students of St Leonard’s College.
