With $133,000 in co-funding per year from 2025, this partnership will increase direct financial support for CEF students enrolled at the university, helping ease the transition into university education and ensuring students feel supported by both their community and institution.

A big happy Friday from our @charlessturtuni students, Isabella and Jayden!

Both students are great examples that education not only changes lives, but also communities. Isabella, from CEF Griffith, has just commenced her Honours in Psychology and hopes to one day work in criminal psychology and Jayden, from CEF Orange & Districts, is studying Pharmacy to develop greater treatments for cancers.

We love getting out and about and seeing the different ways our local foundations are engaging with their communities to raise awareness and funds.

Our Community Specialist, Johanna, attended an event hosted by Duntry Ladies Golf alongside volunteer, Judy Stump from CEF Orange and District, who ran a successful raffle and raised $1,200!

These important funds will go towards supporting local youth achieve their post school education goals and ensuring they have the opportunity to thrive well into the future.

The @galah.press Regional Photography Prize has concluded for another year and we wanted to give a big thank you to the Galah team for putting on a wonderful evening on Friday at @neramuseum!

Our students enjoyed being part of the event and meeting people from all across regional Australia. This partnership truly showcases the passions and talents that exist in regional areas and the power of education to create thriving communities.
