The Monte Blue Ribbon Bursary Appeal was established to help the College care for young women and their families experiencing financial hardship. Bursaries enable us to support families to give their daughters stability in their school environment while their wider world is in turmoil.
Our history is founded on giving, and our story is a philanthropic one. Catherine McAuley and Mother Elizabeth Ignatius McQuoin used their inheritance to educate and advance young women in need. Through their investment, we have inherited a powerful educational legacy that continues today. Your giving honours this gift and allows students access to a Mercy education that would otherwise be unobtainable.
This year, we focus on the value of Mercy, which calls us to respond with compassion and practical support to those experiencing hardship. Mercy invites us to walk alongside others with empathy and care, meeting their needs with dignity and kindness.
Your generosity directly supports bursaries that provide vital assistance to girls in need. With your help, we can empower young women to grow, learn, and look ahead to bright and promising futures.
