Francis Gregory Foundation

About

The Francis Gregory Foundation

Giving Philosophy

The foundation's giving philosophy is rooted in June Harvey's personal experience, where financial resources were a barrier to university education despite family assets in farming. It seeks to reduce these financial obstacles for Year 12 students from primary production families in Victoria, enabling them to pursue undergraduate university degrees who might not otherwise have the opportunity.

Tips for Applicants

Applicants must demonstrate financial hardship and be proposing to accept a full-time undergraduate place at an Australian university in 2026 (or defer for a gap year). Applications are made on a supplied form available from October 10, 2025, and must be received by 5:00pm on January 9, 2026. Principal endorsement is required.
