St Joseph’s Nudgee College offers AIEF Scholarships for boarding students.
In 2023, St Joseph’s Nudgee College continued its dedication to providing an inclusive and culturally diverse environment that celebrates Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander advancement through education. Our partnership with the Australian Indigenous Education Foundation (AIEF) serves as a crucial vehicle for achieving this.
Due to the financial assistance offered by AIEF, including tuition fees, boarding costs, educational resources and extracurricular activities, Indigenous students can fully engage in their educational journey which would otherwise be out of reach.
AIEF Mentoring connects Indigenous students with professionals and mentors who offer guidance, support and advice on career pathways and personal development, developing relationships far beyond the school journey, many times leading to employment opportunities and life-long friendships.
We are grateful that AIEF collaborates with corporate partners to provide work experience opportunities and internships for our students. This networking is only made possible by the strong partnership AIEF has with its stakeholders which in turn benefits the students. This allows them to gain practical skills, exposure to different industries and a better understanding of potential career paths.
In partnership with Nudgee College, AIEF assists Indigenous students explore university and vocational education options, provides guidance with application processes, scholarships, and transitioning into higher education or vocational institutions. Students are also supported on their journey through apprenticeships and traineeships in their chosen fields.
A key highlight for the AIEF Scholarship Students at Nudgee College this year was travelling to Sydney to attend the Year 12 Graduation Ceremony. This event fostered a sense of pride and connection between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander graduates throughout Australia who have been on a similar journey. These events, where achievement is celebrated, enhance the student’s overall well-being and strengthen their sense of identity and pride in their achievements.
AIEF plays a vital role in fostering and nurturing education for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students at St Joseph’s Nudgee College. By providing scholarships, financial support, pathways beyond school and community engagement opportunities, AIEF empowers Indigenous students to succeed academically, develop a strong sense of cultural identity and contribute meaningfully to their communities. The positive impact of AIEF’s support is reflected in the improved educational outcomes and pathways beyond school for Indigenous students at St Joseph’s Nudgee College.
In 2024, Nudgee College looks forward to continuing its partnership with AIEF and fostering the next generation of Indigenous leaders.
Your investment will help more Indigenous students access world-class education and careers.
I support AIEF because they ensure educational equity and achieve astonishingly good outcomes for thousands of young Indigenous people who want a better life.
