Eight letters, one BIG message 🥰
THANK YOU to our alumni and friends who have contributed to Sancta’s scholarship program this EOFY.
Our scholarship program exists to support students who could not otherwise afford to live and study in Sydney, most of whom are young women from regional and rural areas.
Because of your generosity, more than 50 Sancta students will continue to receive the financial support they need to access a world-class university education, find their footing, and go on to contribute to their fields and communities in ways that matter.

🚀 “My scholarship has changed the trajectory of my life.”
That simple reflection from a Sancta student earlier this year was at the heart of our Scholars and Donors Luncheon on Saturday.
Scholarships at Sancta do more than support students through their degrees - they create momentum, shift direction, and change what’s possible.
At this year’s event, we reflected on the impact of scholarships across generations and shared stories of past Sancta scholarship recipients now shaping their fields and making significant contributions to Australian society, including:
🩺 A surgical fellow on her way to becoming one of a very select group of female liver surgeons.
🎥 An executive producer at NITV whose creative work fosters cross-cultural understanding and is driving change in the Australian media landscape.
🌾 The founder of a registered not-for-profit that provides scholarships and career development opportunities for young people with disabilities working in agriculture.
🎶 A composer, PhD candidate and Associate Lecturer whose teaching and research are pushing the boundaries of music and generative AI.
🏛️ A senior curator bringing ancient cultures to life through storytelling, education and preservation at one of Australia’s leading museums.
Each of these remarkable women found support and encouragement at Sancta from alumni and donors who believed in what they could achieve.
That same encouragement was felt on Saturday, with our current scholarship recipients connecting with alumni and donors over shared stories and a delicious lunch.
🥰 Thank you to everyone who joined us!
This EOFY, we invite all alumni and friends of Sancta to set life-changing trajectories in motion by making a tax-deductible donation to our Scholarships Fund.
