Hugh Collins Scholarship (for students from Government Schools)

A distinguished Professorial Fellow of political science at the University of Melbourne, Dr Hugh Collins became the eighth Master of Ormond College in 1994. 

A kind and personable leader, Dr Collins took an interest in every student, he worked to build a confident, fun and scholarly culture at Ormond that was also responsible and caring. He also helped make the College more diverse, including expanding its scholarship program.

For many students coming from government schools, college fees are beyond reach for their families. Your help will ensure that we can assist even more talented students to benefit from an Ormond experience.

When finance is not the only barrier

Students with disabilities, including mobility, hearing, speech and vision impairments face unique hurdles in the academic environment. 

The College has a plan to adapt our heritage campus with accessibility supports so these students can thrive. 

A new lift would increase accessibility to most spaces in Main Building, including the Chapel and would be of great benefit to College staff who have to negotiate the stairs with equipment for event set up and maintenance tasks.

The cost of these works will challenge the College’s modest budget for building and maintenance. 

Our capital projects strategy is part of an ongoing commitment to the conservation of our beloved buildings while ensuring access for all across the campus, and would not be possible without the philanthropic support of our community.
