Griffith University is committed to providing a world class education for all our students. Griffith is now ranked in the top 5 per cent of universities in the world, and our teaching and research excellence ensures that our graduates make significant impacts in their chosen fields.
In 2010, we established a Students’ Future Fund to support students in difficult financial circumstances to access university education and graduate successfully. In 2011, the Students' Future Fund is once again the focus of our Annual Appeal and we are writing today to invite you to contribute to the Fund.
Donations to this Fund will enable us to provide more scholarships for students in need as higher education costs continue to increase. The University has committed to matching every dollar raised in this Appeal and will invest the grand total in student scholarships for students in need.
Four inspiring stories from previous scholarship recipients are included with this email to demonstrate the importance of these scholarships to students. Jai-Leigh, Luara, Edmund and John are studying degrees from across Griffith's comprehensive suite of academic programs. These programs span the areas of Arts (including Music and Visual Arts), Criminology, Education, Law, Business, Asian Studies, Health (including Medicine, Dentistry, and Nursing), Science, Engineering, Environment and Technology.
Donations over $2 to the Students’ Future Fund are tax deductible in Australia and can be made online or by phoning (07) 5552 7217. We also welcome donations for other activities including our areas of research excellence which can be nominated on the online donation form.
By supporting the Griffith University Students’ Future Fund, your generosity will ensure that many more students will be able to participate in university education regardless of their personal financial circumstances.
