As we approach the end of the financial year, we are reminded of the generous spirit that continues to shape Marcus Oldham College.
Marcus has stood apart as a proudly independent institution since its establishment in 1962.
The College receives no formal government funding, and all operational income from student fees is directed entirely to the delivery of our teaching and learning programs. Every development on campus, every bursary, and every scholarship offered has been made possible by the enduring generosity of our supporters.
This year, we have much to celebrate. Thanks to the success of our recent capital campaign—which raised an extraordinary $10 million—the College proudly opened a new 45-bed student accommodation facility in January.
This transformative project is already enriching the student experience and demonstrates the powerful impact of donor support.
There are many meaningful ways in which Alumni and friends can contribute to the College and make a positive contribution to the future of agriculture in Australia.
Gifts can be directed towards student bursaries, international study tours, visiting guest speakers, or made as a direct donation to the Marcus Oldham Foundation to support future capital works.
As a registered charity, all donations over $2 given before 30 June are fully tax deductible. If you are considering making a gift this financial year, we invite you to support the area of the College that matters most to you.
