Private School Scholarships

The Melbourne Foundation was established in 2006 to provide scholarships to Australian children from financially disadvantaged backgrounds, based on the principle that education provides the best avenue to open opportunities in a person’s life.

The Foundation provides fully-funded scholarships for secondary school children to attend a private school in Melbourne, Victoria. Our scholarships have given students the opportunity to achieve their full potential which has transformed their lives and enriched the Australian community.

Scholarship recipients are chosen based on an extensive selection process designed to identify students who will benefit from, and who will make the most out of, the opportunities opened through a scholarship from the Foundation.
