Our Impact

Home / Our Impact

In 2025 we received 806 eligible applications from 303 schools across Australia and awarded 297 new scholarships.

We now have 930 girls on scholarships across Year 9 through to Year 12.

Our primary focus is helping scholars’ complete secondary education. We closely monitor academic progress, comparing outcomes with peers from both low and high-socioeconomic status schools, as well as tracking their advancement into tertiary education.

The results speak for themselves:

  • Our scholars consistently achieve high rates of high school completion and ATAR scores well above the national average and higher than girls from High and Low SES groups
 
  • Nearly all go on to university, with over half receiving early entry offers
 
  • Nearly one-third are the first in their families to complete high school
