Below are the stories of some of Churchie's Old Boys who recieved a Foundation Scholarship and pursued their studies and careers overseas.

To any Churchie Old Boy seeking eustress (from the Greek eu- meaning ‘good’) and eudaimonia (roughly translated as ‘fulfillment’) by studying at any UK/USA University, I greatly encourage them to apply for the Overseas Study Scholarship to assist with accomplishing their own versions of eustress and eudaimonia by studying overseas.

I wanted to experience a college town, a place overrun by students where the culture and passion that existed at Churchie may live on. I couldn´t recommend an exchange highly enough to anyone else considering it, it’s the trip of a lifetime. I met so many good mates during my time in Madison, friends who hopefully I can convince to make the trek to Australia.

I have a dream of pursuing a career that will help to build Australia’s renewable energy future and I am extremely grateful for the continued support of the Churchie Foundation in helping me achieve this.

The generosity and support of the Churchie Foundation assisted me substantially in the way of personal growth through my experience studying abroad. There are very few boundaries to the trip of a lifetime and I strongly encourage anyone who is considering studying overseas to do so.
