The Challenge Scholarships

Thank you

We’re excited to share a special video message from our students, created just for you—our valued donor. Through The Challenge scholarship program, these students have been given opportunities to grow, learn, and pursue their dreams. Received in 2021, they are now in Year 11 and share their reflections on what the scholarship has meant to them and their education. This video is their way of expressing heartfelt gratitude for your generous support.

We hope to provide an ongoing update from scholarship students each newsletter.
