About

The Trustee For Prince Alfred College Endowment Fund, also known as the Prince Alfred College Foundation, supports Prince Alfred College in South Australia. Established in 1974 by Old Collegians and Parents, its purpose is to preserve, develop, and maintain the standards and facilities of the College, enriching student lives and fostering excellence through scholarships, building development, and academic programs.

Tips for Applicants

As the Foundation directly supports Prince Alfred College, potential applicants should be directly affiliated with the College (e.g., current or prospective students for scholarships, or College departments for infrastructure and program funding). Focus on how proposals align with the College's strategic priorities for boys' education, facilities, and community engagement, as outlined in their Strategic Plan.

Giving Philosophy

The Foundation's philosophy centres on preserving and developing Prince Alfred College's standards and facilities to ensure a solid financial footing, shape the educational landscape, and enrich the lives of students. By fostering a culture of philanthropy, compassion, and service within its community, the Foundation aims to create opportunities for generations of boys, preparing them for academic success and a life of purpose and contribution.
