Aspirational Influencers
Our CEF Aspirational Influencers are made up of current and former grant recipients. They are just as passionate about the benefits of further education as we are and coming from rural and regional areas themselves, they understand first-hand the unique challenges. These young, talented people volunteer their time, working with us to connect with students and communities, showing them what is possible and more importantly, how to make it happen.
