Rural and regional youth do it very tough compared to their city counterparts when it comes to accessing further education, and the rising cost of living over the last year and a half certainly hasn`t done them any favours.
Thankfully, however, we`ve been able to step in to help kick accommodation costs to the curb, which is one of the biggest expenses country students face when relocating for their studies. 🚌
With the help of the @icmscampus we`ve helped many students focus on their studies without stressing about paying their weekly residential fees by offering scholarships to eligible country students studying away from home at ICMS. 🧑🎓
You can read all about how we`ve helped our students in part 4 of our blog series about the cost of living crisis at our link in bio.
We can`t thank ICMS enough for their ongoing support, and for making a massive difference to our students!

From all of us here at CEF Australia, we`d like to give a massive shout-out to our great mates at @audiaustralia Foundation! 📣
They`ve partnered with us again this year to deliver our 2023 Alumni Awards, where we recognise our rural and regional students` amazing achievements this year! 🤝
Not only that, they`ve also worked with us for the last six years to fund scholarships for eligible CEF alumni studying courses related to science, technology, engineering and maths. 🧑🎓
We`re thrilled that they share our mission of ensuring country youth don`t miss out on further education opportunities just because of where they`re from.
Here is a 30-second reel of the great work they do! 🎥

We were extremely fortunate to have the @barefoot_investor himself, Scott Pape, as one of our guest speakers at our 2022 Alumni Awards!
Growing up in country Victoria, he experienced the typical challenges our own alumni face in accessing further education and needing to relocate to a city to study.
Here is a throwback to Scott answering a question from the audience at last year`s award ceremony at the Vibe Hotel in Canberra! The question asked was about the advice young people should be provided on finances.

In the lead up to our Alumni Awards this year, we thought we would share this throwback to our Alumnus of the Year for 2022, Elise Prior!....
A Kapunda High School Centenary Education Foundation alumni, she was a thoroughly deserved winner of the award, being the published co-author of two peer-reviewed journal articles, a recipient of the 2019 Adelaide Graduate Award, and was selected to deliver the Valedictorian address for her graduating cohort at The @uniofadelaide . 🙌🤩
Whilst this year`s awards will be virtual, we can`t wait to present them all at our 30th anniversary gala event in Orange, NSW, on the 18th November!
And it is all made possible by @audiaustralia Foundation, our amazing longstanding partner and sponsor of our Alumni Awards for 2023.
Have you nominated anyone yet?! 👇👇

📣 We`re absolutely thrilled to announce a brand new partnership with @auctionsplus! 🤝
The partnership will see a special charity auction hosted on the AuctionsPlus online platform for our inaugural fundraising day in March 2024 to raise funds for CEF grant and scholarship recipients.
With AuctionsPlus being Australia`s biggest livestock auction platform, this will be a game changer for our fundraising efforts! 💪

Congratulations to @cef_namoi on celebrating 20 years this year! 🎉🎊
Founded in 2003, CEF Namoi was one of a few local CEF foundations to form in the early 2000s, after the first, in Boorowa, was established in 1993 by Julia and Nick Burton Taylor.
It has since awarded over 270 individual grants valued at almost $364,945.
Read more about it in our link in bio.
Congratulations to CEF Namoi on reaching this amazing milestone and we can`t wait to celebrate it with you!

A huge "thank you" to @uni_newcastle for hosting us at a special breakfast this morning!
We took the chance to catch up with some of our alumni who are studying there this year to see how they`re going, how our support has helped them so far, and to connect them with the orientation team for even more support.
We have 35 alumni studying there this year across a wide range of degrees including health, science, education, law, communications, design, engineering, law and the arts.
The University of Newcastle has partnered with us since 2018, providing co-funding scholarships to eligible students studying there who have also received a grant from their local CEF foundation.
