With a scholarship I could go to Alphacrucis straight after graduating from high school and not worry about finances. It has allowed me to pursue a meaningful career from the start and enjoy what I am doing every day.

Securing a scholarship in my program has been a game-changer. It’s allowed me to focus on my studies and see how God really does provide us with everything we need for our calling!

Naomi Cantwell

Bachelor of Education, online, VIC

I’m doing what I love, which is helping and supporting young people in schools practically and emotionally. I am now leading a team of chaplains who are making a big difference in young people’s lives in schools. 

Elijah Burrell

Diploma of Ministry (Chaplaincy)

The Chaplaincy course at AC was the first course I had ever done which truly felt like 'me'. The course sharpened my skills and taught me so much about professionalism, governance, crisis support, and boundaries around caring for people. Now I can see how God is using my life's journey for a greater purpose.

Nadia Lino

Cert IV Chaplaincy and Pastoral Care Graduate

I was studying the same degree at different university, but then I realised I needed to find a place that aligns with my worldview - after finding Alphacrucis I have never looked back.

Abigail Comafay

Bachelor of Applied Social Science

The Bachelor of Business gave me the skills to gain a promotion to Executive Business Manager in my current employer. One of my favourite aspects of the degree was that it was taught from a Christian perspective which really helped me in the business world as a Christian.
