Provide support where your passion lies – whether that’s opening doors for students through scholarships, backing early career researchers, protecting the environment or strengthening communities.
Every dollar goes directly to the cause you choose, helping create opportunities, fuel discovery and tackle the challenges that matter most. However you decide to give, your generosity will help make the wonderful possible and ensure a legacy of meaningful, lasting impact.
We are what we eat
Food and Mood Centre
Deakin’s Food and Mood Centre is leading the world in nutritional psychiatry – the science of how what we eat influences our brains, moods and mental health.
Saving our farmers
National Centre for Farmer Health
Australian farmers are facing a mental health crisis. The National Centre for Farmer Health is tackling these issues head-on, helping farming families access the care and support they need.
Eureka moments unlocked
Early Career Researchers Fund
Groundbreaking ideas often come from early career researchers – but many never get the chance to prove them. With your help, we can support them to fuel future discoveries.
Rebuilding communities – and hope
Centre for Humanitarian Leadership
In the aftermath of natural disasters and war, community leaders pick up the pieces. Our unique humanitarian aid training program provides them with vital support and knowledge.
A safe place to start over
Deakin Sanctuary Scholarships
Refugees and asylum seekers flee conflict and persecution to make a fresh start. These scholarships open the door to a new life through a Deakin education.
Supporting the success of First Nations students
NIKERI Institute
Since 1978, thousands of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians have written their own Deakin stories in their own communities, supported by Deakin’s National Indigenous Knowledges Education Research Innovation Institute (NIKERI).
A helping hand
Student Emergency Assistance Fund
From groceries to car repairs, each year we support hundreds of Deakin students in financial crisis to continue their education. Our emergency assistance fund provides a lifeline to help their studies stay on track.
Removing barriers
Deakin Achieving Potential Scholarship Fund
Some students face different hurdles to a higher education than their peers. These scholarships help open doors for students who might not otherwise get the chance, making sure that potential – not postcode or background – determines opportunity.
A new home, a fresh start
Deakin Centre for Refugee Employment, Advocacy, Training and Education
When refugees arrive in Australia, they face many challenges. Deakin helps highly qualified people find their place in Australia’s workforce – benefiting not only individuals and families, but also the communities and industries that need them most.
