Undergraduate Scholarships 20111 Letter from the Vice-Chancellor

Access to good education can make a huge difference to your life and the life of your family and wider community. Being the first person in your family to go to university is possible — I know, I was that person in my family. Education provided me with many opportunities as I’m sure it has for many others. Opportunity and support make all the difference. Students from a variety of backgrounds continue to be under-represented in universities because circumstances work to deprive them of that opportunity and support. Through our exciting scholarship program, wants to ensure that equality of opportunity extends to everyone with the ability to benefit from higher education. If you think you can’t afford to study at Macquarie, come and talk to us. We have a strong commitment to supporting students who need financial assistance and have dedicated services to support you during your study.
