Sharing the gift of hope through bursaries

We warmly invite you to share the gift of hope by partnering with us to form young men who seek to make a difference in the world. To support the Bursary Program, please visit the College’s Bursary giving page HERE or click on the donate button below. The impact of every gift is lasting.

Saint Ignatius’ College Riverview has, since 2004, extended the transformative gift of a Jesuit education to over 550 students from families for whom such an opportunity would otherwise be out of reach.

The College has welcomed bursary students for 146 years. Our cherished Bursary Program – entirely funded through the generosity of our benefactors – represents a partnership between our benefactors, the College, and the bursary students and their families. It built on a foundation of generosity and heartfelt gratitude.

In this Bursary Appeal video, Jack Griffiths (OR2015) who attended the College through a bursary, shares how his time at the College instilled in him the sincere hope of becoming an engineer. A boarder from Griffith, Jack was supported through initial homesickness by his fellow boarders as well as the pastoral care provided by Southwell House. Today, Jack is a traffic and transport engineer at a local council. He fondly recalls countless tennis games on the College courts and happy hours spent revising in the Christopher Brennan Library. We hope you will enjoy hearing Jack’s story and how the Bursary Program shaped his life by watching this video.
