Help us close the education gap by directing your 2024 Chancellor’s Circle donation to the Indigenous Scholarship and Support Program. The Program provides living bursaries and tuition scholarships for Indigenous students every year. As well as financial support, our Scholars receive academic guidance and wellbeing support under the mentorship of Indigenous community leaders through our on-site Nyombil Centre.
Many Indigenous Scholarship and Support Program Scholars are the first in their families to attend university, which is a transformative experience with far-reaching impacts. This journey allows students to weave their ancestral legacies with newfound knowledge and emerge from university with a strong understanding of not just their chosen study area, but of the world around them.
Through programs like this, we are contributing skilled, diverse and empowered professionals to the fabric of society. Recipients of the Indigenous Scholarship and Support Program are incredible Bond ambassadors and role models for young Indigenous people everywhere, setting a strong precedent for generations of First Nations peoples to come.

"How can Indigenous legal principles be incorporated into mainstream systems?
This is the question that was pivotal to my decision to study law. Understanding the legal system and the ways it affects Indigenous people has always intrigued me.
Bond has given me the platform, resources, and opportunities to understand the law by providing a high-quality learning experience characterised by a professional and practical emphasis."
