The value of scholarships has increased from $1.723m in the 2024 academic year to $1.883m in the 2025 academic year. Donations for scholarships have increased from $95k in the 2024 academic year to $274k in the 2025 academic year. These donations were largely received as part of the 2025 Annual Appeal campaign, which focused on scholarships for students who would otherwise not have been able to attend Christ’s College. The support from third-party donations to continue to offer these scholarships is appreciated. EVENTS While the events outlined below do not represent the full range of engagement opportunities at Christ’s College in which the Advancement Team is involved, they highlight those events directly managed or supported by the team. Each of these initiatives aligns closely with College’s current strategic plan, particularly in advancing the key objectives of financial sustainability and community engagement.
