 Education to us is just fundamentally important to life and to being and in our own lives the experience has been transformative. The ability to help other young people to access a top quality university education was very important to us. It's with great fortune that I've been able to come to ANU. For me the Tukua scholarship was about extending myself academically, professionally, co-curriculum and I haven't been disappointed at all. In fact the Tukua scholarship has been everything and so much more than what I thought it would be. It's changed my life. It's completely sort of knocked me into a different direction much for the better as well. I've had a completely different life experience and with that under my belt I kind of feel like I can do anything you know. It's such an amazing and empowering feeling. I think a solid education such as that provided by the ANU is what's going to shape my future but also the country's future and I think this frames the Tukwell's motivation for creating the scholarship. It's the power of education. Well when we started it we started with a blank sheet of paper for us, for ANU, for everybody. There was no precedent for this whatsoever. We want to take it one step at a time. Obviously we took a very big step when we launched it. Now we feel a lot more comfortable about going a much larger step and trying to get this running in perpetuity and growing over time too but it's really the feedback from the scholars that has induced this. They're amazing young people. This gift is as good as it gets for ANU, for the next generation of students and for Australia's future. Graham and Louise Tukwell really are living national treasures. The Tukwell's generosity and foresight marks a new beginning that will be a legacy for many decades to come. It is the beginning of a new future at ANU and a hallmark in the history of philanthropy in Australia. On behalf of the entire ANU community I thank Graham and Louise for this incredible legacy.
