SCHOLARSHIPS
At Ormond we are committed to enabling students to achieve excellence
in their studies and extra-curricular interests. A wide range of scholarships,
largely funded through the generosity of alumni, is available to students
who demonstrate strong academic attainment. A number also have financial
need as a criterion.
Scholarships are offered across many study areas. Some have particular focus, e.g. students with leadership potential, a record of community service or from a particular region or school.
Scholarships, prizes and bursaries to a total value of over $400,000 are available for new and returning students. At Ormond we are committed to ensuring that, as far as possible, financial need is not an obstacle to membership of the College. We offer a wide range of financial support and many of our students are able to benefit from this range of support during their years at Ormond. Please download an information sheet.
Rural Scholarships
To help maintain Ormond's strong tradition of drawing students from
Victorian regional and rural schools, the College offers a number
of rural scholarships. Five scholarships worth up to $5,000 per annum
are available. There is no need to make a separate application for
a rural scholarship - eligibility will be considered as part of the
Ormond application process.
Scholarships for Students of Indigenous Background
The College is strongly committed to supporting students of Indigenous
background who wish to reside in Ormond whilst studying at the University
of Melbourne. Several scholarships are available. The program aims
to:
• provide Indigenous students with access to educational opportunities
at Ormond and the University
• develop an enhanced understanding of, and respect for Indigenous
culture, history and current issues within the College
In the first instance, students of Indigenous background should contact
either:
Ms Jenny Holmes, Dean of Studies, on T: 61 3 9344 1268 or by email
or
Miss Michelle Earthy, Project Officer at the Centre
for Indigenous Education, the University of Melbourne on T: 61
3 8344 5330 or by email.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Ormond’s endowment funds, thanks to former students and other
benefactors, enable us to offer generous assistance to students who,
for reasons of financial need, would not otherwise be able to enter
or remain in College. So, if you’d like to come to Ormond but
think you can’t afford the fees, it's important to discuss your
options with the Dean of Students. Please contact the Deans' Office
on T: 61 3 9344 1107 or by email.
Should you apply to Ormond College and nominate a need for financial
assistance on your application form, the Deans’ Office will
arrange for a financial application form to be forwarded to you. The
application is confidential and is treated as a private matter between
the individual student, the Master and the Dean of Students.
