Educating tomorrow's leaders
Talented young students shouldn’t miss out on a world-class education because of a difficult financial situation. Yet, every year we see aspiring health professionals held back by circumstances beyond their control.
Support from generous donors helps to ensure equitable access to education for young people across Australia. It might allow an aspiring health professional in rural Victoria to live and study in Melbourne. It could ease the burden on a student who works to contribute to their household. Or, it could give a student from a refugee background a sense of solidarity and belonging.
