The Scotch College of today is a modern and dynamic Australian school, inspired by the values of our founder, the Reverend James Forbes, and based firmly on the crucial role we believe education plays in empowering young people to take control of their lives.
The Scotch College Foundation is committed to perpetuating this vision.
The buildings and facilities, and the site itself – which generations of Scotch boys have enjoyed and from which they have benefited – are almost entirely the direct result of the generosity of Scotch families and Old Boys who have gone before. Income from fees cannot provide the financial basis for development, and so Scotch relies on the generosity of its community to support its aims and help bring its long-term goals to fruition.
Through the Foundation’s various scholarship funds philanthropy has also opened the gates to a Scotch education for many boys who would not otherwise be able to attend the School.
Your support will ensure this tradition continues.
The Scotch College Foundation also assumes responsibility for the distribution of monies which are raised by the Foundation, or given to it as a body. The operation of the Foundation within the Development Office is funded by both the Foundation and the School.
So much at Scotch has been achieved through the generosity of the Scotch Family. The facilities which current boys enjoy, and the majority of scholarships offered, are largely the result of the generosity of generations who have invested in our boys and their School. In essence, the Scotch of today is largely the result of a longstanding philanthropic commitment by many people.
Scotch will continue to be a school where giving sits at the heart of its culture; where our students, Old Boys, staff, parents and past parents are inspired to support programs that resonate with them and, in so doing, help to ensure that Scotch is everything it can be for every boy.
