The Old Ivanhoe Grammarians’ Association has always been delighted to see students, who otherwise may not have the opportunity to enjoy an Ivanhoe education, attend the School through the scholarship offerings available to them. Indeed, the Association provides two scholarships in its own right and our Alumni support many more. Scholarships are the gift of a lifetime and we appreciate your financial support when it is possible to do so.
Established by the OIGA in 1957 as the Evelyn Buckley Memorial Fund following the death of Mrs Buckley. It became the Sydney and Evelyn Buckley Scholarship Fund on the death of our Founder in 1964. For every Life Member subscription, an amount is placed in the Fund to build the corpus to a level where the scholarship will become self-funded. The scholarship contributes 50% towards tuition fees. It is not campus specific and can be awarded at any secondary level when available.
To honour the memory of much loved English master, Peter Huxley. Peter was a wonderful eccentric who possessed the finest qualities in communicating the beauty of the English language to his students. Peter gave the school 24 years of loyal and dedicated service and positively impacted the lives of hundreds of pupils at all levels of ability.
The Slater/Graham Memorial Scholarship is so named to honour the memory of two long serving staff members, Alan Graham and Rob Slater, and was established through the generosity of many Old Ivanhoe Grammarians who admired them. Their involvement in sport meant many hours were spent on and around the precincts of the South Ground and to further their memory, the Slater/Graham Memorial Hill overlooking the ground has also been named in their honour. Alan Graham was a member of the Class of ’32 and was on staff from 1946 until his death in 1979. He also wrote the School Song in conjunction with another member of staff, John Marshall. Rob Slater was a full time staff member from 1948 until 1988 and coached many premiership teams in a variety of sports during that period. The inaugural scholarship was awarded in 2019 and the hope is to increase the number of recipients as the Fund grows.
First awarded in 2020 to mark the centenary of the OIGA, this scholarship will cover 50% of yearly academic school fees for the recipient. The intention is that once the S & E Buckley Scholarship Fund becomes self-sufficient, a percentage of Life Member subscriptions will be directed to this scholarship fund.
For many years the OIGA has supported students in attending local, interstate and international Round Square conferences through a yearly gift to the School. This is distributed to students, who may otherwise be unable to attend, at the discretion of the Principal.
Oswald Kyle, pupil No. 272 attended Ivanhoe Grammar School from 1923 to 1929. After graduating in Medicine he moved to Tasmania where he began forty years of service to the community, working tirelessly for improved health care facilities for the people of the Huon district. In 1965 he was awarded an O.B.E. for his service to medicine. He died in 1980. The Dr. Oswald T. Kyle Award for Outstanding Community Service by an Old Ivanhoe Grammarian was established in 1988 by Leigh Holman with the generous support of Oswald Kyle's family. It recognises the ideals of an Ivanhoe Learner held before students during their school days and the unselfish community involvment of so many Old Ivanhoe Grammarians.
