You can change their tomorrow. Today.

Talented students need urgent support to continue their education.

Shaping Futures Scholarships

Jake showed a talent for maths from a young age. He dreamed of going to university but growing up in a small rural town with a family who struggled financially, it seemed impossible.

Through hard work and determination, Jake was accepted at the University of Newcastle to study teaching, but financial stress nearly broke him. Too many promising students may never fulfill their potential because they can’t afford to complete their education.

Your tax-deductible donation today will help provide Shaping Futures Scholarships so that talented students can stay in education. Your kindness will change someone’s life and shape a better future for us all.

Thanks to the generosity of a past graduate and the University of Newcastle, your donation will be doubled!

*Donations to the Shaping Futures Scholarship Fund will be matched for this appeal and are capped at $60,000 (Generous anonymous donor: $50,000, University of Newcastle: $10,000).   
The University of Newcastle covers all administration costs, so 100% of all funds raised go directly to fund Shaping Futures Scholarships.
