Sports Excellence Scholarship Fund

The Sports Excellence Scholarship Fund (SESF) provides students with the opportunity to break down the financial barriers that have been placed in front of them, helping them achieve their dreams and build skills for life through the power of sport. The SESF was formed in 2012 having witnessed too many emotional withdrawals from Victorian State Teams, due to financial hardship. These are the young people who need the most support in our community, to lift and inspire all those around them. We awarded three scholarship in our first year and kicked off our ‘Hall of Fame.’ In 2019 we funded 45 scholarships and our alumni now includes AFLW players Monique Conti and Gabby Newton and AFL player Changkuoth Jiath. Our alumni are also on the national stage in eight other sports. We are truly inspired by these young people. The SESF also runs an engaging mentor program and provides ongoing education opportunities for our alumni and parents.
