Assisting students from refugee backgrounds
Approximately half of Australia’s refugees are aged between 15 and 19 years of age, an age when education is a priority.
Not only have they had to overcome a tough start to life, but they are also then faced with a unique range of challenges in the quest to achieve further education in their new country. These challenges often contribute to pauses in study or complete withdrawal, and are strongly influenced by government policies as well as age, family responsibilities, understanding what higher education entails and strong support networks.
Giving to the Humanitarian Fund Scholarship will mean more students from refugee backgrounds will receive the support they need to complete their studies, enter the workforce and enrich our community with their unique knowledge and perspective.
