Your donation could be the difference
At Griffith University, we recognise that every student has the potential to achieve greatness, but not every student has the same starting point. Donating to the Brighter Futures Scholarship Program could be the difference that allows students facing hardship to not only attend and graduate but also go on to make a lasting impact in the world.

The Brighter Futures Scholarships are awarded to undergraduate students impacted by various types of educational disadvantage, including financial hardship, educational disruption, disability, or others, that has impacted their ability to achieve their full potential.
This suite of scholarships are awarded to commencing and continuing students and includes some scholarships that are specific for students registered with Student Disability and Accessibility Support, some specific for First Peoples students, as well as some specific to students who are Permanent Residents.
The Brighter Futures Scholarship has evolved, broadening its reach to extend financial support to more diverse groups of students.
