The Bethlehem College International Travel Award was established in 2023 on behalf of a very generous anonymous donor. A former student of Bethlehem College, their passion in international travel was ignited by a school trip to Tahiti.

Since that trip, they’ve managed to set foot on every continent of the world, visited 35 countries, and have lived in many different places. Now they’re looking to give back to the school community where their passion was ignited and are giving a lucky student each year the chance to have their horizons opened.

The Acorn Foundation is administering this scholarship in the form of a grant of $3,000 targeted at a student who needs financial assistance to go on an international journey that will help them grow as people or give them critical life experiences. This scholarship will be awarded by a panel including the donor, Bethlehem College representatives, and Acorn Foundation representatives.

To apply, students between Year 11 and Year 13 should apply via a form hosted on the Bethlehem College website from the 1^st of May. Travel must occur between November of the year of grant and December 31^st of the following year.
