Jack Ross Bursary Fellowship

Securing a future education for all boys

Help us continue the legacy of Edmund Rice and change the lives of those in need through the gift of a Nudgee College Education.

The Nudgee College Old Boys’ Association (NCOBA) and St Joseph’s Nudgee College have established the Jack Ross Bursary Fellowship. In the Edmund Rice tradition, the Fellowship’s sole objective is to provide bursaries to students, whose parents could not otherwise afford to send their sons to Nudgee College. 

We are honoured to announce that Br Vince Connors has been appointed as the Patron of the Jack Ross Bursary Fellowship. The John Elliot (Jack) Ross Bursary Trust, which the Fellowship fosters, is a tax-deductible fund from which dispersals are governed by a committee to ensure that bursaries are awarded in accordance with the criteria outlined in its Trust Deed. That is, to cover educational expenses based on equity or merit. Since the NCOBA represents 50% of the committee, Old Boys have a unique opportunity to influence Nudgee College from the grass roots through selecting worthy recipients of the bursaries.

Maybe we can find the next Jack Ross? There are already a handful of boys in receipt of Jack Ross Bursaries from the program but we require much broader support from our members to realise the full potential of the Fellowship. The NCOBA are the stewards of the Jack Ross Bursary Fellowship and are determined to build a vibrant community in pursuit of its Edmund Rice ideals in honour of Jack Ross.
Nudgee Old Boys and Nudgee College families have and are still benefiting from the privilege of their Nudgee experience. Contributions are welcome at all levels and will be recognised with exclusive privileges. 

You are all invited and urged to join us and other members of the Nudgee College community in Fellowship as we change young lives through the gift of a Nudgee College education.
