SCHOLARSHIPS

AFFLIP Coordinator:  Loch Mitchell AM

TWG Coordinator:  Allan Rivera

The Scholarships program provides annual grants of $100 which are designed to encourage students at risk of dropping out to stay at school and engage with the curriculum, with the full support of their parents.

​The provision of funds from private sponsors pays for school fees, books, uniforms, and extra curricula activities.

806 children have received or are currently on 3-year scholarships since the scheme was first established in 2013, and over that time our generous sponsors have contributed over $190,000.

​It is our understanding that all but one of our scholars have completed elementary school and progressed to high school.

​One recent exciting initiative is the development of an AFFLIP alumni data base, through which we hope to track our scholars’ progress post elementary into high school and tertiary education.

​Haigh’s Chocolates, Finstro, and The McBriarty Family Foundation have been major partners over the last few years in the provision of funding for scholarships. A significant portion of scholarship funding is generously donated by individuals, families, and smaller organisations.

​There are currently 354 children receiving an AFFLIP scholarship.
