UC constantly evolves to attract and support a diverse range of talented students while providing first-class programs and facilities.
Many students struggle with the expenses associated with tertiary studies in Australia. Students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, rural and regional areas, graduate students, Indigenous students and students with families experiencing financial hardship are those most at risk of not embarking on or completing tertiary education. Our funds cannot keep pace with the increasing cost of tertiary education and accommodation, and the financial pressures now faced by students and their families. Our long-term aim is to have sufficient scholarship funds to enable the most deserving students to come to college regardless of their capacity to pay.
We continue to meet the increasing needs of our students through the generous philanthropic support of the residential college community via the UC Scholarship Program. With your ongoing support, we can continue to invest in our young people and the College’s future.
Whether you wish to establish your own scholarship, or make a recurring donation to the general program, every dollar helps us reach our goal.
We recognise that students from rural and regional Victoria face many challenges in moving away from home, and university costs can be one more obstacle in the way of realising their ambitions. We’re delighted that the scholarships we have donated will assist talented students with a background like ours to enjoy the wonderful experience of university study while living in College.
