You can help a student receive a transformative education
Stories to inspire
At Griffith University, the recipients of scholarships through the Brighter Futures Scholarship Program have fascinating tales to tell.
Through their aspiration and dedication, these students are in turn inspirational as they excel in their studies while striving to overcome difficult challenges in their lives.
Their gratitude for receiving a life-changing Brighter Futures Scholarship or Abedian Foundation Brighter Futures Scholarship is matched by their commitment to sustained excellence, both at University and beyond.
Please enjoy their stories, and we look forward to you helping more students through the Brighter Futures Scholarship Appeal. Many more students need your help.
