New Zealand’s Oldest Independent Girls’ School Launches Its Foundation And New Full Fee-paying Student Scholarships

Last week Samuel Marsden Collegiate School officially launched its new Marsden Foundation, offering new full fee-paying student scholarships to support future generations of students.

“Whilst Foundations have traditionally existed for decades in boys’ schools, we are thrilled that we now have systems and a structure that will enable ongoing philanthropy, and the associated benefits and opportunities to students, at Marsden,” says Marsden’s Principal Paula Wells.

The Foundation’s initial focus has been attributing funding to scholarships that enable a Marsden education for those who might not otherwise have access to such. At the Foundation launch, it was announced the school will soon begin accepting applications for its first full tuition fee-paying student scholarships for Years 11 to 13 beginning in 2023.

“Every student deserves the opportunity to realise her full potential and live a life of meaning, accomplishment and genuine happiness. Marsden scholarships encourage both diversity and excellence within our community,” says Marsden’s Principal, Paula Wells.

Since 1878 Samuel Marsden Collegiate School has been providing quality independent education for girls. The school and its students and thriving alumni make meaningful contributions to their community both locally and internationally.
