Every dollar goes directly to current and graduating students at Marist College Eastwood — through named scholarships, extracurricular opportunities and bursary support for families in need.
The Old Boys Association operates under a Trust Deed that directs all funds to scholarships, bursaries, and student benefits supporting both students facing financial hardship and those with the drive to pursue outstanding careers in engineering, law, the arts, science, and entrepreneurship.
