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.

Braidwood sheep shearer and our alumnus from 2018, Lochie Ramm, is definitely a multi-skilled farmer. 🧑🌾
Not only can he shear sheep and run all the day-to-day activities of farm life, he can shoot and edit videos!
He has combined his skills by creating his own YouTube channel and Instagram page, both called `Our Farm Life,` where he showcases his love for farming and agriculture.
He`s a very deserving winner of our 2023 Audi Foundation - CEF Community Alumni Champion award.

We`d like to introduce one of our amazing students, Ethan Smith.
This year, he received a grant from our local foundation, Country Education Foundation of Young, as well as a national CEF - UNSW scholarship, to help him with his studies in a Bachelor of Commerce at UNSW.
Ethan is a highly committed young man who worked full-time at a financial planning firm in Young before moving to Sydney for his studies.
He allowed us to follow him this year to witness his journey and see just how much this support has helped him thrive at university. We hear from him about the transition from home to the city, how his studies are going and what he is excited about for the future.
Give the gift of education this Christmas and help make education a reality for more inspiring regional students like Ethan.🎄📖

Growing up in little old Braidwood, a town of just 1000 people west of Batemans Bay in NSW, Inga Neilsen was laughed at when she said she dreamed of one day being a TV journalist. 📹🎤
Despite facing so much adversity, she has beaten all odds to become exactly that. She is now working as the Police Reporter for ninenewsadelaide!
