Empower students through the gift of education

Ensure that education really is for everyone

In these difficult times, it’s more important than ever to support our communities and empower our young people to be the best they can be. The way to do this is through education.

This tax time, we are proud to share stories about two of our students – Nazli and Tyrone. Both experienced financial and social barriers to accessing higher education. Both are now on the path to achieving their career aspirations, thanks to receiving scholarships.

Their inspiring stories show the impact we can have on students’ lives when we join together to support them, and affirm our beliefs that education really is for all, regardless of circumstances or where you’re from.

This year, when you think about reducing your taxable income with a donation, consider scholarships – your donation will help more students like Nazli and Tyrone to achieve their ambitions and inspire others. 100% of your donation will go directly towards equity scholarships.

There are many more students who are either choosing not to apply or abandoning their studies due to financial barriers or difficult life circumstances. Together we can help them.

Scholarships ensure that the best and brightest students experiencing challenging life circumstances are offered a place at Macquarie. Through the University and generous donor support, we currently help more than 750 students annually.

We need to do more so that more students from financially disadvantaged, rural or remote areas can receive a life-changing scholarship.

Thank you on behalf of current and future students for considering making a difference with a simple act of kindness.
