Joel's story is a powerful example of how donor support can remove obstacles and empower students to achieve their potential.
Every donation contributes to someone’s progress in education, knowledge, and skills and delivers an impact for the good of our society.
To have the support of the Scholarship donor, Holding Redlich and be connected with a mentor was incredibly helpful.
Despite my financial challenges, I remain committed to my studies and have contributed to the university community in various volunteering capacities.
I am incredibly thankful to have been granted this scholarship. Without the donations from the sponsors, I would not have been able to continue my degree this year.
My scholarship not only helped my educational journey but instilled in me a sense of gratitude and responsibility.
Completing my placements have only possible through the support of my scholarships, so I am thankful I can continue my studies and go on to give back to my community.
As a single mother of three, and with rising housing and living costs and other basic needs of teenagers, times are getting quite tough.
I am a strong believer that my condition will not define me, nor will it be an excuse for holding me back in pursuing my career and life aspirations.
I decided to take a chance, to follow my dream and to make a difference in not only my life but in the hopes of improving other people’s lives as well.
I have experienced many challenges in my life and have proven that these obstacles are not the end of my story.
I am the first of my immediate family to attend University and I want to show my children that you are never too old for learning and that your goals can always be accomplished.
My scholarship has given me the opportunity to travel to a rural location to perform my placement, enhancing my knowledge in my field and learning certain rural clinical skills.
My scholarship has helped to buy textbooks, pay internet bills and help clear the debt I have obtained travelling to Queensland to attend a residential school.
To reach out when I needed help the most and have them answer my pleas overwhelmed me with emotion.
I have been offered so many amazing opportunities to develop both in my personal and professional capabilities and will be forever grateful.
From the bottom of my heart, I cannot express my gratitude enough. This scholarship has helped not only me, but also my family.
As a single father and primary care provider for my three children, the financial strain of studying did have me questioning the future of my degree.
My scholarship meant I didn't have to stress so much on the cost of living, whilst completing my final thesis for mechanical engineering.
I am beyond grateful for the generosity of the donors of my scholarship - they will never know the positive impact it has had on my studies and the hope it has given me to never give up!
It has been a big motivating factor that has not only helped me out with financial support and networking opportunities, but reminded me that if I put in the work and remain driven, good things will come of it.
I was certainly able to spend less time worrying about not having money to pay the bills and more time and attention on my studies.
My scholarships helped me with my textbooks, university fees and accommodation expenses and allowed me to focus on my studies without having to worry about my finances.
You are essentially breaking down barriers for students like me to successfully achieve their degree.
My scholarship had a massive impact on my success at university. It got me to graduation and now I’m working as a graduate engineer in my dream job.
Without my scholarship, I wouldn't have received first class honours and been able to walk straight into a graduate job.
