UWS Foundation Match Alumni Gifts

UWS Foundation match Alumni gifts

May 2011

UWS Alumni are giving to support future generations of students from Greater Western Sydney through the Alumni Scholarship Fund – and these gifts are set to become even more meaningful to our students with the UWS Foundation committing to match all gifts from Alumni.

Scholarships play a crucial role in ensuring all students have the chance to access and make the most of their university studies. But even more motivating is that others believe so much in the potential of our students they are willing to invest in their future – and when these supporters are graduates of this institution the message becomes incredibly powerful and inspiring.

The Alumni Scholarship Fund was established in 2009 and has benefited from the support of many graduates since that time. In 2011, we look forward to awarding the first Alumni Scholarship, and to supporting many more students every year from now.

The UWS Foundation is committed to supporting our students, in partnership with our graduates. The Foundation Board, made up of volunteers from our local community, recognises the great impact alumni gifts have in inspiring and motivating our students. The Board have therefore committed to match all gifts from alumni to support UWS students.

“Our aim is to be able to say that any student from Greater Western Sydney with the skills and motivation to attend university is able to do so, without concern for cost. Our Alumni are important partners in pursuing that goal. They are great role models for our current students and for future generations of young people in our community. We are proud to be working with them to give more students the opportunities they deserve.” John Phillips, Chairman of the UWS Foundation

The gift of knowledge is one of the most effective ways of empowering our students to embrace opportunity, growth and change. As a supporter of the Alumni Scholarship Fund you are a partner in our vision, helping our students to reach their full potential.

Thank you to all those graduates who have so generously contributed to the Alumni Scholarship Fund.
