 Every now and then something in your life changes everything. A moment in time where you can see a new path opening up in front of you. One you never dreamt of before. The students future fund has helped us fast forward our potential. How? Let us show you. Receiving a scholarship was a turning point for me. Without it I wouldn't be at university now. I was homeless as a teen and I became a single father at the age of 19. Despite my challenges I still want to do well in life. The uni was my way to do that but financially I wasn't coping. I'm so very grateful to the kindness that has been shown to me by the donors of this scholarship. When I graduate I want to become a child psychologist. Receiving the scholarship allowed me to halve my work hours, focus more on my studies and my grades improved. I used to be so stressed juggling a 25 hour work week and full time study. This scholarship led me to securing a paid placement in Shanghai this year and I'm so thankful. When I graduate I'd like to help people in the human rights and the cyber security sector. I was a latecomer to realising my own potential. It hasn't been easy though at one stage we were homeless. Thanks to the scholarship I'm well on my way to reaching my full potential and I can't wait to graduate as a social worker. School wasn't a good experience for me so I lacked the confidence to do a science degree. I knew that I could achieve more. I decided to study forensics at Griffith. It was very stressful choosing between work, study and paying my rent. Receiving a scholarship greatly reduced my stress. When I graduate I want to be a forensic scientist. As Vice Chancellor of Griffith University I know that the Students Future Fund helps students most in need. Despite their difficult personal circumstances these students excel at their study. So I invite you to join me and fast forward their potential with a donation to this year's annual appeal. Your support will make a remarkable impact and change students' lives. Okay, when you're ready. Please donate to the annual appeal and help other students like me. Every donation helps.
