The Scholarship Association provides an ongoing scholarship award program through the operation of an endowment fund. All contributions are credited to the endowment and invested to generate sufficient income to meet ongoing scholarship award payments and preserve real spending power over time. All organisational expenses are covered by the members of the Association so your donation is a direct contribution to the scholarship program.

Friends of the Association

The Gail Valentine Memorial Scholarship Association gratefully acknowledges the help and support of a growing circle of people in many places whose lives were touched in some special way when their lives intersected with Gail’s.  These folk have expressed their gratitude for the influence of Gail’s friendship and for her life and work and have made a donation to the scholarship program.  Their contributions, in a practical way, honour Gail’s caring commitment to make others lives better.  They also help to continue the spirit of service which characterised her life.  The circle includes former teaching colleagues, parishioners, friends, neighbours, former students and partners in outreach projects among others. The support of these friends of the association in helping to establish a memorial scholarship program is appreciated.
