 Support is really important I think for everybody, especially for indigenous kids, kids moving away from home, kids who maybe didn't have a lot of support to begin with. Yeah, it really helps. I'm Georgia, I'm studying a Bachelor of Coastal and Marine Science at the University of Newcastle. I'm from a really small country town called Wellington near Dubbo, a tiny town population of about four and a half thousand. The sustainability of Coastal and Marine Science really matters to me. It's really important for everybody to learn about and to understand. Without our waterways and if they disappear like they're looking like they're going to, communities will be completely devastated, especially small communities. Even now, like my younger sister, there's definitely a difference in the waterways already. It's not as safe to swim anymore and there's always reasons why, you know, loud in the water, like algae pollution and things like that. Newcastle was the only place that offered Coastal and Marine Science so I had to move about four and a half hours away from my family. I'd been to Newcastle a handful of times when I was younger but nothing like this, the first time moving out of home and yeah, it was definitely difficult. Before I received the scholarship I was really worried about rent and it was really worrying for all of us how I was going to be able to stay up here and if I was going to have to move off campus to a small place or if I was going to have to forego some textbooks or things like that. I got it, it was good. I was over the moon, like I rang my mum and it was great. It was just such a big stress relief for any other kids out there, especially Indigenous kids, like it is really possible to go to uni. It's really accessible because of scholarships. It's really a big deal and I hope it serves inspiration sort of to my younger sister. She really wants to go to university when she grows up. It feels good being a role model. To all the people who contribute to scholarships, I just want to say a huge thank you. You make it possible for me and kids just like me to attend university and follow our dreams and make a big difference in the world after. So thank you for that.
