University can be life-changing – but for many students, financial or personal hardships stand in the way.
Too often, talented and determined people are forced to delay or abandon their studies simply because the challenges they face make it impossible to continue. Your support can change that.
Remove barriers to education
This is why scholarships matter
The Deakin Achieving Potential Scholarship is about giving people a fair go. It helps open doors for students who might not otherwise get the chance, making sure that potential – not postcode or background – determines opportunity.
These scholarships, funded by your generosity, go far beyond financial assistance – they tell a student that someone believes in them. That belief sparks ambition and confidence that ripples out into their families and communities. The encouragement and opportunity you provide is immeasurable, inspiring students to dream bigger and achieve more.
Together, we can give every student the chance to succeed.
This scholarship – not only to me, my whole family – means a lot, since I am the first one from my family to attend university.
