Thank you for your generous support of the UniSC Student Relief Giving Day.
Your gift has had an immediate and profound impact, contributing to our successful campaign that has raised significant funds for students. We are thrilled to inform you that, thanks to your support and others like you, we were able to raise a total of $130,000 this Giving Day! This is a clear testament to the power of collective goodwill and the generous nature of our communities.
In Semester 1, these funds made it possible for seven students to receive Study Support Bursaries, lightening their financial burden and empowering them to focus more fully on their studies. Because of you, they can concentrate on what matters most - their studies and their future.
We're excited to keep you updated on the incredible impact your gift will make on students' lives.
Once again, thank you for your generosity and for believing in our students' potential. Your contribution is not just a donation, it's a lifeline for our students.
Did you miss your chance to give?
If the excitement of the day got away from you, don't worry - you can still give.
Donate today for a better tomorrow for our students.

I'm Rachael Thurlow, a 44-year-old single mum of five, and I can't thank you enough for the life-changing financial support. After two decades dedicated to motherhood, I made the bold decision to embark on a new career path as a registered nurse. The past year was a challenging adjustment as a single mum juggling household responsibilities, work, and university studies. Your contribution means the world to me. Your support ensures I can focus on my studies without worrying about financial stress. As a dedicated single mum, I make every dollar count. Thank you for believing in me and my journey.
