FOGA Scholarship Bursary

July 25, 2024

While the inaugural Fairholme Old Girls Association Coming Holme dinner was all about welcoming our Old Girls for a night of connection (and fun!), it was also about fulfilling one of our founding tenants, which is honouring our pasts and celebrating our futures.


We are thrilled to announce that the Fairholme Old Girls’ Association (FOGA) presented a cheque for $5000 to Principal Dr Evans for a scholarship bursary for a deserving Fairholme student. This initiative is at the heart our FOGA purpose:  to support and nurture our future Old Girls, ensuring they have the opportunities to thrive and succeed.


At Fairholme, we believe in the power of education to transform girls’ lives. This bursary is our way of giving back to deserving young women whose lives will forever be enriched and empowered by their Fairholme education.


FOGA President Georgia Stafford said, “The Fairholme spirit lives on through our commitment to nurturing and lifting the next generation of female leaders. We are excited to see the incredible achievements of the recipient and the positive impact they will undoubtedly make in the world.”


Thank you to all our FOGA members and supporters who made this possible. Together, we are making a difference!
