At UNSW, every gift makes an impact
Because of the philanthropic support of our UNSW community, we’re able to tell these stories of gratitude.
The continuous generosity of our donors helps ensure exceptional learning experiences, particularly for students in need, and enables critical research that has the power to make a global difference.
These UNSW students and staff have directly benefited from your support. Thank you. Together we are accomplishing great things.
Equity Scholarships
I was offered an internship at Tesla Motors in California which itself was a life changing experience.
This scholarship has allowed me to gain professional experience that I can use later on in my career.
Equity & Access: Aspire & Gateway Programs
Aspire helped me realise that the socio-economic stigma that I grew up around shouldn’t hinder my ability to go to university.
Research spotlight: Multiple System Atrophy
Your support also enables us to fund the boldest research and most talented scientists in our efforts to improve the quality of life for all. Dr Michael Janitz and his six researchers are one of the few Australian scientific teams specialising in Multiple System Atrophy (MSA). A rare degenerative neurologic condition, MSA is seen in both men and women and currently affects more than 2,500 Australians. Your support has led to ground-breaking research by Dr Janitz and his team, who have recently discovered several genes that could potentially be used as molecular markers for MSA and are investigating their potential to trigger brain tissue damage in early stages of the condition’s progression. Philanthropic gifts are an important source of support to continue this type of work. Thanks to you, Dr Janitz and his team can continue working towards a diagnosis and treatment of MSA. |
