Make a young person’s dream a reality. Please help GO so more students can go to university.
Key for young Indigenous people is education and feeling connected to culture with support at each step of their journey. A GO Scholarship gives both.
We are so excited that more GO Students want to attend university but the cost for students and their families is high. Help GO to support students with a financial scholarship, cultural support through Culture Connect Days and Alumni events and access to GO’s partner and supporter network who can help provide career opportunities at the end of their studies.
A GO scholarship provides wrap around support for students if and when they need it. Students receive scholarship payments twice a year. The schoalrship means they might not have to take that third or fourth shift of part time work which leaves them to focus on their studies. If students need assistance with housing or have any other needs, GO is here to help with the assistance of our Partners and supporters.
Education changes lives but Indigenous students in Australia are less likely than their peers to finish high school and go on to university.
Gemma had a GO Scholarship in high school. Now Gemma is at university and doing amazing things – with GO right beside her.
The numbers of Indigenous young people going to uni are growing – it’s going to the norm soon for Indigenous people to study at uni!
Being part of GO has helped me appreciate my culture more than before. It unlocks more of my identity. The money means I can focus more on study. It makes life easier and means I can buy the supplies I need to excel."

We want to stay with students and help them beyond school. Please help us so GO can say to students at the end of Year 12, ‘we’ve got your back. We can help you next year and beyond.’
Over 1,960 Indigenous students have received a GO Education Scholarship, with more young people than ever finishing year 12 and wanting to go on to tertiary study, there’s so much more we can do with your support.
