*UPDATE: In 2020, we raised $23,218 supporting one and a half scholarships - which coupled with sponsorship from Aboriginal Victoria and the Eastern Health Foundation allowed us to support four Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples participants into the 2021 Williamson Leadership Program.

The fundraising target for 2021: $39,807

Our Commitment

Leadership Victoria and the Williamson Leadership Program Alumni recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples as the first sovereign Nations of the Australian continent and its adjacent islands and are supporting a dedicated Scholarship Fund in the Leadership Victoria Foundation. The fund spans over three years (2020-22) with a total fundraising target of $48,000.

Purpose of this Scholarship Fund

This Scholarship Fund will enable Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples to participate in the Williamson Leadership Program or other Leadership Victoria program. By participating in this program, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples will have the opportunity to explore and expand their leadership, contributing to greater impact across communities and organisations. The funds raised for this scholarship through the Foundation can only be used for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples who wish to undertake the program and not for any other purpose.

Thank you for your support in creating this leadership development opportunity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples to create positive impact in our organisations, our communities and society.

We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians, whose cultures and customs have nurtured, and continue to nurture, this land. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and future.
