ABOUT THE MOUNT SCOPUS FOUNDATION
What does the Foundation do?
The Mount Scopus College Foundation exists to assist with the growth and development of Mount Scopus College.
Fee income cannot provide funds for growth, and so Scopus relies on the Foundation to support its aims and help deliver its vision into reality.
Tuition fee relief programs and bursaries are also significantly supported by the Foundation.
The Foundation is also committed to building a substantial Endowment Fund to help secure the future. The Foundation is governed by an Executive which sees its role as inspiring philanthropy within the Scopus community.
Since its founding in 1987 the Foundation has raised more than $60 million.
Membership of the Mount Scopus College Foundation is determined by one’s level of financial support.
Donors to the Foundation support many projects and programs, many of which would not be possible without their generosity.
They provide:
- Bursaries by way of subsidised tuition fees
- Israel Experience Program (Ulpan) scholarships, bursaries and awards
- Leading Edge technology to support E-Learning
- International Baccalaureate Program support
- Performing and Visual Arts programs and enrichment opportunities
- Archive and Alumni program support
