Foundation is an independent public foundation established by the Queensland State Government in November 2008 to provide a secure funding source for improved educational outcomes for Queensland Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people. The Public Trustee of Queensland is the Trustee of the Foundation. The QATSIF Board of Advice actively promotes support for its programs to the business community and welcomes ongoing philanthropic support for investing in the education of the next generation of Indigenous Australians. QATSIF wishes to acknowledge Aunty Ruth Hegarty as a Patron of QATSIF I have carefully followed the dedicated work that gives great meaning to the lives (now hundreds) of young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students from all over Queensland. It is my honour to continue to support the Scholarships and the students who are helped to achieve results that would otherwise be beyond their expectations - Dr Ruth Hegarty Professor Cindy Shannon continues to chair the QATSIF Board of Advice: I am enormously proud that now in our ninth round of QATSIF Scholarships,, QATSIF Students, teachers, the Public Trustee, Community Members and the Queensland Government all share the educational dream and vision and work closely for the benefit of the students many more of whom are now completing Year 12 – because of QATSIF. QATSIF acknowledges the valuable financial support of the Queensland Government. QATSIF won’t ever lose sight of Stolen Wages but is totally committed to doing all within our power to “close the gap” on disadvantage. We can’t change history but we can change the future and the future is education and our young people – Emeritus Professor Cindy Shannon For further information contact Professor Cindy Shannon, Chair of QATSIF Board of Advice on 32571777 .
