Message from the Chancellor
Your Chancellor’s Circle contribution will create invaluable opportunities for students and deliver impactful research and infrastructure developments for our regions. For example, your grant may fund a higher degree by research (HDR) scholarship or enable a group of students from the Arts Academy to travel to a cultural event.
Individuals and corporations who have a history of philanthropy and who share a vision of Federation University are among those who have pledged their support. Donors receive an annual report outlining the progress of the fund, grants made during the year and strategic updates from the university."
