“I found being the recipient of a Tertiary Scholarship in 2017 was extremely helpful in allowing me to access all the textbooks and resources needed to undertake my degree for that semester. It helped reduce some of the financial stress associated with being away from home and reduced working hours as I was attending University full-time. I felt I was able to truly immerse myself within my degree due to the help of having received the scholarship. Thank you to the Eyre Peninsula Community Foundation for supporting this scholarship”

“I am now in my final semester of my degree and still fondly remember how much the Eyre Peninsula Community Foundation scholarship helped me with the transition to Adelaide and University. The funds received allowed me to invest into my studies and wellbeing and the service provided from your team was excellent. Four years later, with a degree almost under my belt, I could not be more grateful to be one of the scholarship recipients.”
