Supporting our Students

THE REAL DEAL is that most of our students are often more than just students – some hold down multiple jobs, many are raising families, while others are determined to beat the odds, despite experiencing social and economic disadvantage.

The reality is ...

• 30% of our students work more than 20 hours a week, while studying
• 7,500 UWS students are from disadvantaged areas
• Around 50% of our students are the first in their family to attend university

But our students, like the people of Western Sydney, are passionate and determined to succeed, despite setbacks along the way. This is what we call THE REAL DEAL.

Your support can give more students, like Beth and Serena, the encouragement to be all they can be while making us proud to be a part of this spirited community.
