Giving Philosophy

The Foundation believes philanthropy is vital for enhancing educational opportunities and securing the school's future. It aims to reduce the financial burden on parents, make education accessible to talented students regardless of background, and fund building/maintenance that would otherwise require fee increases. The Foundation emphasizes transparency, accountability to donors, and long-term corpus growth to ensure sustainable support for generations of students.

Wealth Source:Wealth derived primarily from donations and bequests from the school community including alumni, parents, and friends. The most notable contribution was an $8 million gift from alumni and philanthropist Terry Snow for the Snow Centre for Education in the Asian Century.

Tips for Applicants

The Foundation primarily supports existing Canberra Grammar School students and prospective students through its scholarship programs. For the Indigenous Scholarship Programme, applicants should demonstrate Indigenous heritage, academic potential, and financial need. The program accepts applications from students across ACT and NSW. Contact the School directly for scholarship enquiries. The Foundation operates with transparency and publishes annual reports and impact reports publicly.
