Education can transform lives, especially for students who have faced displacement, disadvantage, or limited access to opportunity. Scholarships and educational support help talented young people overcome barriers, empowering them to build brighter futures for themselves and their communities.

St Leonard’s College Foundation has spent the past decade creating opportunities for students through its scholarship programs. By supporting Global Citizen Scholars, refugee students, Indigenous students, and other socially disadvantaged young people, the Foundation helps ensure that financial circumstances do not stand in the way of a quality education. To celebrate ten years of impact and continue investing in future generations, the Foundation is hosting its signature fundraising event.

The Foundation Gala Ball 2026 will take place on Saturday, 22 August 2026, at 6:30 PM at CENTREPIECE at Melbourne Park. This elegant evening of glamour, inspiration, and philanthropy will bring together supporters to celebrate a decade of generosity while raising vital funds for scholarship programs that change lives. Proceeds from the gala will help expand educational opportunities for refugee, Indigenous, and socially disadvantaged students, ensuring more young people can access the resources and support they need to achieve their full potential.

Reserve your place here to celebrate a decade of impact and help open doors to education for the next generation of scholars.
