You can change their tomorrow. Today.

Record numbers of students are applying for scholarships to help keep their dreams of higher education alive.

Please donate to help fund scholarships for deserving students struggling to cope with the financial pressures of higher education during a
cost-of-living crisis.

Shaping Futures Scholarships

Catherine escaped domestic violence and had to rebuild her life without financial security. Despite a deep-seated belief that university was out of reach, she remained determined to use her lived experience to help others by studying to become a doctor.

Given the opportunity, students like Catherine can use their education to tackle gender-based violence, poverty, and other major challenges facing society. But unfair barriers mean many can't afford to attend university or complete their studies.  

Your tax-deductible donation today will help provide Shaping Futures Scholarships for students facing barriers to higher education. Your kindness can change someone’s life and help shape a better future for us all.

Thanks to the generosity of a past graduate, your donation will be doubled

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

Please make an
urgent donation to Shaping Futures Scholarships.
