Flinders is opening the doors to opportunity for all. From the advancement of Indigenous peoples, through to scholarships supporting students in financial hardship.
With your help we can increase the number of scholarships available to our students, providing them with confidence and encouragement, keeping them motivated and helping them remain focused on their end goal.
Scholarships are part of Flinders’ commitment to rewarding academic excellence, supporting research and enabling students from all backgrounds to realise their educational goals. We believe in providing a world of opportunity for all people, regardless of their background and experiences. With your help we can increase the number of scholarships available to our high quality students and help them achieve their full potential, now and into the future.
Flinders has embedded, as one of its core values, an unwavering commitment to cultural inclusivity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We believe in participation at every level of our study, work and research. We are committed to working in partnership with Indigenous communities to increase Indigenous student participation in higher education, tackle the diversity of our workforce, and learn to connect with our country’s past, present and future.
This perspective is integrated into everything we do, and encapsulated in our Flinders University Reconcilation Action Plan (RAP).
When deciding on a pathway towards a career, many from rural and remote areas in Australia face a unique set of challenges that can severely limit the choices available to them. Flinders has a long history of offering support where people are disadvantaged by their distance. The Rural Student Scholarship Fund has historically been at the heart of our alumni funded scholarship program.
In 2017 the fund has been re-established and the Scholarship reinvigorated in recognition of the continued support Flinders receives for this important area from our alumni and friends. Like you, we also believe there is a need that will not just benefit students and the University but will strengthen our rural communities. The ability of people from rural areas to have access to higher education is integral in creating greater equity for all Australians.
For 30 years the Jessie Cooper Scholarship for Women has changed the lives of many women who commenced their university studies later in life - assisting them to finish their degree and work towards their career goals.
In 1994 the scholarship was named in honour of Jessie Mary Cooper (1914–1993), the first female Member of the Legislative Council in South Australia, and a Founding Council Member of Flinders University.
Marking 100 years of South Australian women gaining the vote, the scholarship was established by the Flinders Alumni Association to address the growing concern of retention rates of women in their final year of study.
Thirty years on, the scholarship continues to help women who face family pressures and obstacles to completing their degree.
Help women reach their potential, donate today.
