The Scholarship

The Bright Futures Scholarship was established in 2018 and is for the purpose of supporting students and families who are experiencing financial or personal disadvantage, and who demonstrate a strong commitment to social justice activities and contribute to their local community

This scholarship is awarded annually to one incoming Year 7 student for 50% tuition relief, and is awarded for the duration of a student's enrolment at Damascus College (maximum of 6 years). More information on the scholarship can be found here.

To raise funds to extend the reach of the Bright Futures Scholarship to multiple students each year, Damascus College engages in numerous Bright Futures events to raise funds for this worthy cause.
