THE GENERAL SIR JOHN
MONASH SCHOLARSHIP
I am delighted to report that, with a
great team effort, the initial target of
$750,000 in the 24-Hour Fundraising
Day for the General Sir John Monash Scholarship
was passed relatively early in the piece, and –
thanks to the generosity of over 700 members of
the Scotch Family – more than $1.3M was raised
and two scholarships in General Sir John Monash’s
name have been perpetually endowed. Particular
thanks go to the matched givers who made this
giving day possible. You can read more about this
initiative elsewhere in this edition of Great Scot.
