On Wednesday 19 March 2025, AIEF Patron David Gonski AC hosted the annual AIEF Ambassador Briefing alongside AIEF Ambassador and CEO of Commonwealth Bank Matt Comyn in Sydney. At the Briefing, AIEF Executive Director Andrew Penfold shared information about AIEF’s key outcomes and results, as well as reflections on the past year and what the path ahead looks like. The students and alumni in attendance spoke to the gathered group of AIEF Ambassadors and other supporters about the impact of receiving a scholarship, their education journeys and hopes for the future. We thank each of our AIEF Ambassadors for their continued support and contribution to our mission to support young Indigenous people to build a brighter future for themselves and for our nation.
