New Sponsorships
To start a new sponsorship, please select from the programs below.
To renew an existing sponsorship, select "Sponsorship Renewals".
The sponsorship programs below are in order of what the school needs most. Supporting a boarding room, teacher or bus will help St Jude's to continue to provide essential educational infrastructure for our students – comfortable and secure boarding facilities, great teachers supported by good resources, and transport to and from school in St Jude's distinctively colourful buses.
Sponsorship of a St Jude's student is also available. We are delighted that a lot of our students entering the school in 2010 are already sponsored but we welcome new student sponsors for new and existing students. If, at the time of signing up for sponsorship, a student is not immediately available, you will be placed on a waiting list for the next available student and in the meantime a portion of your money may be allocated to building a desk, chair or bed etc so your new sponsored student can thrive at St Jude's.
Please note that we require an ongoing commitment (preferably for at least 3 years) for our sponsorship programs. If you are unable to make such a commitment, we ask that you please make a one-off general donation.
