Give the Gift of a Villanova Education

Villanova has a proud tradition of music education, starting from the first days of every boy’s journey at the College. The Wieneke Family Music Trust raises funds to ensure Villanova students who experience financial hardship have opportunities to fully participate in the music education program of their choosing.

About the Wieneke Family Music Fund

During the 1990s, Mrs Edna Wieneke kindly donated the core of the fund to Villanova College for music purposes.
The fund was formed with the blessing of Villanova’s current College Chaplain, past Rector, and nephew of Mrs Edna Wieneke, Father Peter Wieneke OSA, Class of 1962.

The Wieneke Family Music Fund distributes music bursaries and assistance on a needs basis for eligible students who:

- Due to financial limitations, would otherwise find it difficult to

continue their son’s participation in the music program,
- Who have demonstrated enthusiasm for playing a musical instrument,
- Who have keen enthusiasm to continue their music education.

Villanova College Music is the source of much joy, discipline, resilience, fun, co-operation, and pride. As importantly, there is a power in music that introduces beauty and awe to the lives of participants and supporters. Music can propel us into the realm of spiritual. Maybe that is why St Augustine said 'singing belongs to lovers'.
Fr Peter Wieneke OSA - 6th Rector and Old Boy (Class of 1962)
My journey at Villanova was made possible by a bursary and now I am studying in my chosen field of biomedical science. I received an excellent education, but Villanova also built my skills and an important part of my character. Words can’t express how grateful I am to be part of the Villanova world.

"When I was accepted into Villanova College, I was happy and excited. If I had the opportunity to meet one of the donors, I would thank them for giving me the opportunity to study in such an amazing College."
