Tips for Applicants

Prospective scholarship applicants, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds, should aim for strong academic performance, consistent school attendance, and active participation in community voluntary work. The selection process for certain scholarships, such as those in partnership with the Cambodian Children's Fund, involves passing maths and English tests, followed by a panel interview.

Giving Philosophy

The foundation is dedicated to supporting academic excellence and expanding access to higher education for young people, particularly those from non-traditional educational backgrounds and those facing significant barriers. It aims to foster a strong sense of belonging, inclusivity, and safety within the college community, empowering students to excel and make meaningful contributions to the world. Their partnership with organisations like the Cambodian Children's Fund exemplifies their commitment to creating pathways out of poverty through education.

Notable Grants

Full scholarships to students from Cambodian Children’s Fund for the Foundation Studies program at Trinity College, enabling them to pursue degrees at the University of Melbourne.
