Support our students

Moving from regional NSW to Melbourne brought new financial pressures, including the cost of living and study materials. This scholarship has eased the burden of relocating and allowed me to focus on my studies without constant financial stress. By reducing my working hours, I’ve been able to devote more time to my education, engage fully in university life, and make the most of the opportunities available. Connor Hogan, KPMG Michael Andrew Scholarship Recipient (Faculty of Business and Economics Scholarship)
