Celebrating 50 Years of Open Foundation

For five decades, the University of Newcastle's Open Foundation program has been transforming lives and creating opportunities.

Since 1974, Open Foundation has been a beacon of hope and opportunity for people of the Hunter and Central Coast regions. As Australia’s first pathway program, it has empowered tens of thousands of students to begin their academic journeys, many of whom have gone on to become successful alumni across diverse fields.
