2022 Indigenous Education Statement

Scholarships, bridging and enabling support and outreach services to improve access

ISSP Funded Scholarships

UNE offers a range of ISSP-funded scholarships to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to support and improve access to university. Scholarships offered in 2022 aimed to address a number of barriers to accessing education, including economic disadvantage, first in the family, from regional and remote areas and those with a range of access needs. The ISSP scholarships were also utilised to celebrate success and contribution to the community, ensuring continued access is supported.

The University of New England respects and acknowledges that its people, courses and facilities are built on land, and surrounded by a sense of belonging, both ancient and contemporary, of the world's oldest living culture. In doing so, UNE values and respects Indigenous knowledge systems as a vital part of the knowledge capital of Australia. We recognise the strength, resilience and capacity of the Aboriginal community and pay our respects to the Elders past, present and future.
