Equity scholarships change lives.
They level the playing field for students who – through no fault of their own – face additional barriers to education. Freed from the worry of making ends meet, students can focus on making the most of their time at RMIT.
The impact is clear: scholarship recipients are more likely to stick with their studies, and get better results, than those without that support.
At RMIT we believe that a student’s financial background should not define what they can achieve in life.
Please make a gift towards equity scholarships today. When education is not only for those who can afford it, we all benefit.
The impact of a scholarship is much more than just the monetary amount. It's an enabler for students like me to have a bit of breathing room and pursue other extracurricular activities. I can do certifications, do internships, take part in university clubs ... By being able to buy textbooks and reading material I've been able to get a deeper understanding of what I'm learning. My grades have risen significantly.
