You to the power of us can change students' lives

Your gift can help change the lives of students who choose to study at Macquarie University, many of whom are overcoming setbacks to further their education.

Students like Bailey Beatie, a fourth year business student from Broken Hill, and Jade Bunt, a fourth year law student from Dubbo, who have been able to achieve beyond their dreams, thanks to scholarships.

My scholarship has been the making of me. It's been life-changing. It's changed my view of where I can go and what I can do in the world.

I’ll carry my gratitude for my scholarship throughout my career as a constant reminder of the importance of giving – you never know whose life you can change!

When someone has the ambition and tenacity to educate themselves, great things can happen for them, their family and their community.

Scholarships break down inequity and open up new worlds for students. Your tax-deductible gift can make this happen.

"I often see young people in my community defeated by their chances of going to university, particularly in places like Sydney," says Jade. "I know university can seem unattainable, but access to education should never be limited by your geographical, cultural or financial circumstances."

"I’ve been extremely fortunate,’ says Bailey. "I am where I am now because of those who have donated to scholarships. It’s been a massive stepping-stone, and one day I hope to pay it forward so the next small-town, country kid can achieve their dreams too."

Both Jade and Bailey are close to finishing their studies at MQ, and ready to take on the world!

They couldn't have done it without the support of our generous community.

Give the gift that lasts forever with a donation to our scholarship program.

We need all kinds of students. We need a world where all voices are heard. And we need to make sure everyone has the opportunity to improve their life through learning.
