 "There's an old saying that if you give a man a fish you'll feed him for a day, but teaching him to fish will feed him for a lifetime. "Educating our young people is a national priority. It is the key factor in creating employment opportunities and eliminating poverty. "I am pleased to support Deakin in this vital work." Mr Lindsay Fox AO +
"The cost of education is much higher at university [compared with TAFE], and with a two-year-old son I was worried about accumulating a massive HECS debt. This is when I came across Deakin George Alexander Foundation Scholarship on the internet. "This scholarship has taken so much pressure off. With less financial pressure I can afford to work less which gives me more time to concentrate on doing well at Deakin. With the scholarship I also plan to complete two units over summer to fast track my degree." Mr Paul Wallace |
