About this scholarship
Established in 2023 by St John’s College and the Mellick Families from North Queensland, under the Create Change Scholarship Match initiative. The scholarship recognises several Johnian alumni from the extended Mellick family who have had the opportunity to attend St John’s College. The annual distributions of the endowment support an undergraduate student experiencing financial hardship with the cost of residential fees at St John’s College.
