Help keep Ormond accessible and restore our 100 year old Chapel Roof

You can transform the lives of students by removing financial obstacles, enabling talented students to benefit from the experiences, conversations, and friendships which Ormond provides.

For many students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, rural and regional areas, Indigenous students and students with families experiencing financial hardship, coming to university and college is only possible by accessing significant financial support.

Over half of all rural students rely on financial assistance to come to Ormond. This year we ask you to consider a donation to the Harold ‘Pompey’ Elliott Scholarship for Rural Students, as well as our access and diversity scholarship programs, and much needed funds to replace the roof of our College Chapel.

With your support, we can ensure more students from diverse backgrounds and experiences can call Ormond home, make their own individual contributions to our College which in turn benefits our entire community.

To support the College and make a difference to the students who call Ormond home, donate online.

Harold 'Pompey' Elliott Rural Scholarship

General Harold ‘Pompey’ Elliott was a remarkable
Australian and Ormondian. A soldier, lawyer and
politician, he is most remembered as a charismatic and outstandingly successful military leader during WWI. Ormond was deeply touched by the Great War. Ormond people not only fought in the War but they also led, and Pompey was perhaps the most famous among them.

Pompey grew up in Charlton, Victoria. He came to
Ormond while pursuing a Bachelor of Arts and Master
of Laws at the University of Melbourne and remained
deeply connected to the College, being President of the Old Ormond Students’ Association and a member of the College’s Council.

A scholarship has been established in his name for students from regional or rural Australia in need of financial support to join our community.

Coming from a small country town, living at Ormond remained a dream. The financial assistance I’m receiving means much more than the numerical value – it has given me opportunities which were unimaginable until I came here, and has broadened my horizons in the truest sense.”

Help restore our century old Chapel roof

 

This year the Ormond Chapel celebrates 100 years since it first opened as the College
Library. With its beautiful stained glass windows, the lofty Chapel in Main Building is a space for prayer, reflection, and congregation for people of “all faiths and none”. It’s also a much-loved venue for musical performances, theatre productions and guest speakers.

Weather and age is taking its toll on our Chapel Roof, and we need your help. The entire roof must be replaced as an immediate priority to prevent water damage to the Chapel and Main Building. The cost of replacing the entire Chapel Roof is estimated at $140,000, which is beyond the College’s budget for capital works. 

Our capital projects strategy is part of an ongoing commitment to the conservation of our
magnificent buildings. Your gift will ensure this treasured building at our community’s heart stands strong for centuries to come.
