At Charles Sturt University, we believe that education should be accessible to all, but financial barriers often stand in the way.

A recent report revealed that two-thirds of university students are living below the poverty line, with financial stress rising significantly. Scholarships provide critical support, allowing students to focus on their studies rather than worrying about essential costs like accommodation, textbooks, and technology.

By establishing a scholarship, you can make a direct and lasting impact on students who need it most. Whether you choose to support students based on financial need, academic excellence, research potential, or community leadership, your generosity transforms lives and helps shape the leaders of tomorrow.

  • Make a lasting impact – Invest in the next generation of professionals.
