Scholarship
Laptops
In 2020, the This is ‘IT’ initiative was born, in an attempt to equalise access to education across the South East region of Melbourne. Now in 2023, with the assistance of very generous donors, the initiative has expanded into the Bayside and Peninsula regions. The initiative aimed to offer scholarships to local students, in the form of laptops.
In this day and age, laptops are a required learning tool.
