Scholarships - general
Stand Like Stone’s Educational Scholarship Fund provides scholarships to students in the Limestone Coast region, helping them access education from early learning through to tertiary study.
The Educational Scholarship Fund is a cornerstone of Stand Like Stone’s commitment to lifelong learning and opportunity in the Limestone Coast. Scholarships are awarded annually to students from primary, secondary and tertiary levels, based on equity or merit. This includes support for university, TAFE, vocational training and other approved courses.
The fund helps reduce financial barriers and empowers students to pursue their educational goals with confidence. Whether it’s covering course fees, travel costs, or essential supplies, scholarships make a tangible difference in the lives of local learners.
Donations to the Educational Scholarship Fund are held in perpetuity, with income used to fund scholarships year after year. Individuals, families, businesses and community groups can contribute or establish named funds to support specific fields, schools or student needs.
Stand Like Stone is proud to invest in the region’s future—one student at a time.
