ENABLING ACCESS TO ST ANDREW’S
In 2022, the St Andrew’s College community demonstrated an impressive level of generosity and support. Together, we have raised $903,600 in new gifts and pledges. In 2023, we have achieved our campaign goal of raising $7M!
SCHOLARSHIPS AND BURSARIES were the key focus for our community in 2022 and the College received $698,000 in combined gifts towards scholarships this year, including $135,000 for the new 20 Years of Undergraduate Women Scholarship and $21,865 for the Wayne Erickson Scholarship which will provide support to students from Government Schools. Both will have a long-term impact and support students for years to come. An additional $306,000 was also pledged for future scholarship funds. Furthermore, we established six new scholarships this year, providing more opportunities for students to pursue their studies and achieve their goals. Currently, 50 students are supported through donor-funded scholarships, and we are proud to say that our Annual Giving Appeal in 2022 raised $101,425 for means-tested scholarships specifically for Indigenous students, students from rural and regional areas, and Government school backgrounds. We are grateful to our community for your support in enabling us to give more students the St Andrew’s College experience in 2023.
In addition to our scholarship efforts, the College received $136,000 in pledges and new gifts towards the new Thyne Reid Link Building and other capital works projects. An additional $31,250 was gifted towards the College’s Academic Programs Fund, allowing us to explore the further development of our educational programs and offerings. Our community’s dedication to giving was demonstrated via the record number of people who made one or more gifts in 2022. Of the 186 total donors, these included 109 alumni, 24 parents, 10 alumni and parent couples, and 43 past parents, foundations, or friends of the College, who together made a total of 251 donations throughout the year.

Finally, we thank the Council, the Foundation Board of Management, the 1867 Circle Committee, the Alumni Society Committee and the Young Alumni Committee for their valuable advice and support throughout 2022. We could not do what we do without all of you.
