The 2025 Old Boys’ Union Scholarship
Fuel Your Passion for Making a Difference
The Shore Old Boys’ Union is once again proud to offer the Old Boys’ Union Scholarship supporting Year 13 students with a strong commitment to community service. This is your opportunity to turn your passion into action.
Do you have a service-based project or idea that could create real change? Each year, the Old Boys’ Union Scholarship is awarded to Year 12 student/s who demonstrate commitment, initiative, and a desire to give back. Whether you’re starting a not-for-profit, launching an environmental project, or pursuing an idea that’s close to your heart, this scholarship could help turn your vision into reality. The Old Boys’ Union wants to support your journey
The Scholarship seeks to acknowledge both a boy’s appreciation of the School values, and also his desire to put into practice what they have learnt in a unique way. The value of the Scholarship is a minimum of $3,000.00. It may be utilised by the recipient(s) over a three-year period up to the 31st December of the third year following your final year of School. The Scholarship is announced in the final week of Term 3.

- A genuine passion for making a difference
- A well-thought-out service project or community initiative
