Indigenous
Support Fund
The Indigenous Support Fund supports
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
students and aims to improve access to
tertiary study and facilitate better higher
education outcomes.The Fund creates
two streams of support: the Yaitya
Tipanthi Scholarship and the Yaitya
Tipanthi Bursary.
The inaugural recipient of the scholarship
is a Bachelor of Journalism student Talara
McHugh. Talara hopes to uplift Indigenous
voices and stories in the mainstream media,
be a positive representative for First Nations
people, and inspire other young Aboriginal
women interested in media.
“As a kid, I always wanted to study at
university after graduating from high
school. My experience studying at the
University of Adelaide has been great
- I’ve been given the opportunity to do
things I never thought I would and to work
with people from all walks of life.
“I am so grateful for this scholarship
which will be a great support to me in my
studies and help me to ful昀椀l my dreams,”
said Talara.
