We know scholarships for rural students are life changing as the cost of living is increasing. We also know there are many barriers that rural young people face when moving away from home to study and train. This is where your support can make a very real difference. 

This year we have the ambitious goal of doubling the number of scholarships to support even more young rural Victorians, helping them thrive at university or through vocational training. Since 2011 we have provided more than $2 million in scholarships directly impacting the lives of 156 young Victorians living in rural or regional areas. Their stories are testament to how these scholarships are transforming lives. 

Your individual and group support will plant seeds of hope and turn dreams into a reality. 

Create a team, and invite your friends or colleagues to join you on Crowdraiser, where you can post updates and follow along on the fundraising journey as you support university and vocational students over three years. 

We have used native plants to highlight how you can directly support young rural Victorians, share their journey and see them thrive.
