Creating new opportunities
Heather was overjoyed and relieved to receive a University of Newcastle Shaping Futures Scholarship this year thanks to our many generous supporters. Now, she has her sights set on giving back, both by supporting life-changing university scholarships and investing in local health as a community nurse.

Many more students like Heather need urgent support before the new academic year begins.
