Jesuit Social Services’ Student Support Fund
Jesuit Social Services is committed to working with people who experience significant social and economic disadvantage, to engage in further education, training and employment. Many people in these circumstances need support to engage in learning, to succeed in their learning programs, and to continue on to further training and employment.
In some cases, meeting the cost of training course fees may impose additional hardship. In order to assist students of Jesuit Community College who due to financial or other forms of hardship might not be able to meet the cost of their Jesuit Community College Course tuition fees, Jesuit Social Services has established the Student Support Fund.
Applications for assistance through the Student Support Fund are open to students who require financial support to meet the cost of their Jesuit Community College Course tuition fees. You may also be eligible for fee support. For information on the Support fund, please see our Student Handbook. The establishment of this fund draws on the rich tradition of Jesuit education committed to ‘care of the whole person’ and the development of active and informed citizens.
Applications are open to be received all year round. They can be handed to your Jesuit Community College Trainer/Assessor or enrolment officer, emailed to courses@jss.org.au, sent by post to PO Box 1141, Collingwood VIC 3066, or lodged by hand at Jesuit Community College, 1 Langridge St Collingwood.
Before you apply for this financial support, you should consider alternative funding options.
