Scholarships Fund - NOW OPEN
Each year, Concordia receives numerous scholarship applications from high performing prospective students.
By contributing to the Scholarships Fund, you will be helping an outstanding student to be given the opportunity to achieve to their potential through a scholarship.
There is the option to make a one-off donation or to set up regular deductions. All contributions are tax-deductible.
Your valuable support will enable us to increase the number of scholarships available to students who may otherwise be unable to enjoy the benefits of a Concordia ŮŮÊÓƵ College education.

The Lecture Theatre at Concordia’s Stephen Street Campus provides an important community space for myriad activities and events, from daily classes to inspiring lectures from external presenters, music recitals and community events.
The refurbishment of the Lecture Theatre will see new carpets and seating installed to provide our community with a modern and functional facility.
You can assist with the refurbishment by making a tax-deductible donation of $500 that will purchase a new seat for the Lecture Theatre. Note that you will be sent an automatically generated interim receipt to confirm your payment. You will be issued with an official tax deductible receipt from our Business Office the following working day.
Your generosity will be recognised with a plaque with your name on a seat and on an honour board displayed in the Lecture Theatre. You will also be invited as a VIP guest to the grand opening of the newly refurbished Lecture Theatre.
Interested in donating more than one seat? You are most welcome to do so! Multiple seats purchases will have the name plaques placed on seats beside each other.
See the below images for an artist's impression of how the Lecture Theatre will look like once it has been upgraded and what it looks like now.
Etch your name in Concordia's History!
With just 100 seats available, this is a rare opportunity to dedicate a chair in the name of a family, a graduating student, a current student, an Old Scholar or a loved one. When you complete the form, there is a field for you to enter the name that will be displayed on a name plaque on a chair. This name will also be displayed on an honour board in the Lecture Theatre.
