Student scholarships
Empower the next generation: Support UNSW scholarships and student life programs.
Thousands of young people benefit from UNSW scholarships and student life programs every year.
By donating to a scholarship or student life program, you'll be helping students at UNSW reach their full potential.
Students who come from disadvantaged and under-represented backgrounds can find it hard to thrive at university. Our program of Equity Scholarships sets them up for success by providing them with the financial and educational support they need.
Our student life programs ensure that the University experience is rich, challenging and diverse for all our students. Your donation can be used to support the activities of our wide range of social clubs, or the development of new sporting facilities. It can also help students of outstanding sporting ability to train and compete at the highest level, by covering their travel and accommodation costs.
At UNSW we know that every gift, no matter how small, can make a big impact on the lives of our students in need. That's why some thankful students on behalf of themselves and their peers, are expressing their gratitude to staff, alumni and others within the UNSW community who have contributed philanthropically towards initiatives like ASPIRE, Nura Gili and Equity Scholarships.
Zahra (BSc ’19), UNSW ASPIRE Ambassador
“Thank you for your support, the impact of which can last a lifetime.”
Meet Zahra, a student volunteer for ASPIRE - UNSW’s award-winning educational outreach program. Through ASPIRE, Zahra is able to help grow the academic ability and aspirations of students with little to no exposure to university, and help them to see higher education as a very real option for them.
“Knowing about university shouldn't be a privilege, and many students rarely leave their community so their life experience is very limited. ASPIRE opens up a world of possibilities for them,” she said. “Your support will ensure that we can continue encouraging young people to achieve their goals.”
Volunteering with ASPIRE has been extremely rewarding for Zahra. She wants donors to know the true impact of their generosity, having seen firsthand how many young minds have flourished with its impact, transforming personal and professional trajectories, and breaking cycles of disadvantage.
“I want to say thank you, so much, for supporting the program that has helped so many, and for the opportunity to share my story. It truly means a lot,” she said. “A donation towards ASPIRE is a long-term investment in Australia's future, so the impact of your support can last a lifetime.”
