Scholarships and Grants
Scholarships and grants
provide opportunities for
students to excel
Taking those first steps on the path to
a university education can be daunting,
particularly for those who come from socially
or economically challenged backgrounds
or are the first in their family to attend
university. But at the heart of UniSA is the
belief that, no matter what your background,
every person deserves the chance to make
the most of their talent and achieve their
goals.
Those who support students by providing
access to higher education with a scholarship
or grant are investing in that student’s future.
It is this generosity that provides our students
with the freedom to focus on their studies,
allowing them to become the highly skilled,
job-ready individuals employers desire.
In 2022, 200 donor-funded scholarships,
grants and prizes were awarded to more
than 250 worthy recipients. With support,
we are helping our deserving students
reach their potential through a range of
scholarships, grants and prizes.
The Order of Australia Association Foundation
Business/Law Scholarship encourages
outstanding young Australians to become
future leaders. As part of the scholarship,
students benefit from ongoing mentoring
from a member of the Association who is
eminent in the recipient’s field of study.
Thanks to their added generosity, two
scholarships were awarded in 2022.
Annie and Marc Fabig have generously
supported female students looking to begin
their careers in Clinical and Health Sciences,
specifically Laboratory Medicine, Biomedical
Science and Nursing. The Helen Berriman
Scholarship honours Annie Fabig’s mother
and the Saara Fabig Scholarship honours
Marc Fabig’s mother. Both mothers embody
the philosophies of hard work, a focus on
family and making the community a better
place for all. First awarded in 2022, the
Scholarships will provide financial relief to
students from disadvantaged backgrounds
- to open up opportunities through study
that can positively improve their life and the
community.
“Marc and my mothers have been great role
models for our family members. They have
taught us to focus on what is important in
life, including honesty, integrity and care for
others. They have also contributed to our
family’s financial stability through their work.
These scholarships are a lovely way to keep
their legacy alive,” says Annie Fabig.
