CEF Coolah
CEF Coolah fundraises throughout the year and accepts donations from residents and businesses in order to provide financial grants to local students to support their educational journey. These grants are sourced directly from sponsorship and fundraising – not government funding – assisting these students with costs associated in achieving university and trade qualifications, and working to help them achieve these educational aspirations.

Like three quarters of CEF students, Thomas had to move hundreds of kilometers away from his family farm in Coleambally to pursue his Agriculture studies. Support from CEF went towards paying for his on-campus accommodation and even purchasing a new laptop when his broke during his final year of study!

Earlier this month, on a chilly winter`s evening, we joined our partner, @drewscollege at their Orange Regional Reunion, kindly hosted by @rosshillwines .
These events are powerful reminders of the strength of regional communities and the importance of creating pathways for regional students, especially as they relocate to metropolitan areas for the first time.
Thank you St Andrew`s for a great evening and for your ongoing commitment to CEF and rural and regional youth.

We`re halfway through June and there`s still time to donate to help students, like Samantha, look forward to the future.
Like three quarters of CEF students, Samantha had to move away from home to pursue her studies and, with no financial assistance from family, she assumed she would have to fund everything on her own. Support from CEF meant she could cover her relocation costs and focus on her goal of becoming a teacher in regional Australia.
Donate by 30th June to double your impact and make your gift go twice as far to help young regional Australians pursue further education and training and chase their career goals.
