Welcome to our secure site to make a donation to Robb scholarships and prizes.

The demand by young people to come to Robb is high and they are excelling in many areas. Robb offers a healthy balance between academic excellence as well as social, sporting and community involvement activities. These play a big part in the development of a student and their exposure to life experiences which they will call upon for many years to come in many facets of life.

Our Scholarship Plan

Due to generous support from our Alumni plus employer partners, we are building concurrent pathways of scholarships and prizes for each year a student resides in Robb.  Each pathway combines old with new awards and supports on average 50% of residential fees.

Leadership coaching, work experience, access to employer connections are also part of our plan.  The pathway includes:

  • The Sinclair-Wilson Scholarship
  • The Irvine Scholarship
  • The Robb Foundation Leaders Scholarship
  • The Darren Ellis Memorial Scholarship
  • The Wal and Pam Whalley Senior Fellows Scholarship
  • The Robb College Foundation Regional Development Scholarship

Your support of the Robb College Scholarship Appeal is vital in building our students'  confidence and career opportunities while helping to keep the College strong.  These pathways will help them strive for excellence, realise their potential and surprise even themselves.

Your donations are tax deductible, will be invested and managed by the UNE Foundation and allocated to the students' residential fee accounts in accordance with our  agreement with the UNE Foundation and the University of New England.

You can make a donation online here – just scroll down – or by Direct Deposit, or by mail – please attach your payment to this completed donation form and return it to the listed address.  Please follow the instructions to do a Direct Deposit.
