Together we can reach one more student
This Gifting Day we set out to help Reach One More student whose potential is greater than their circumstances.  

Thanks to the generosity and support of our donor and ambassador community, an additional 63 students can receive a Shaping Futures Scholarship.

A special thanks to our alumni Belinda and Adam MacDougall, who generously matched donations in support of Gifting Day through The MacDougall Foundation, doubling the impact for students.

If you would like to help Reach One More student, it’s not too late to donate. 

Your support of Shaping Futures Scholarships will help Reach One More student on the path to becoming a teacher who will shape young minds. One more future doctor or nurse who will care for our communities. One more future engineer, researcher or social worker who will create positive change for others. 

Together, we can help ensure that more promising students are not denied a university education because of financial hardship.
Thanks to the generosity of The Macdougall Foundation, $150,000 of donations were doubled!

Why your support matters

Timothy experienced domestic violence as a child and took on a fatherly role for his siblings while becoming protective of his mother. The stress of losing the family home and car made his high school years really hard, but Timothy persevered and made it to university. 

Timothy knew he wanted to become a doctor, and practise medicine in a rural area – to do his bit to provide desperately-needed healthcare for people in remote communities. 

But the rising cost-of-living threatened Timothy’s studies. In desperation, he applied for a Shaping Futures Scholarship from our generous community. Receiving a scholarship proved to be life-changing, giving him the financial stability to continue his education.

But there are many more students like Timothy in need of urgent support.

This Gifting Day, you can help Reach One More student like Timothy.
