Our Purpose
There is a serious academic gap when it comes to educating young indigenous Australians. Whilst there has been a significant increase in the number of indigenous Australians completing the HSC, very few of these students continue their studies at leading Australian Universities.
The ITNewcom Foundation was established in 2011 to provide university scholarships to young indigenous Australians. The ITNewcom Foundation will partner with Yalari and leading Australian universities to provide indigenous Australians with the necessary support to help them make a successful transition from school, to university and into the workforce.
The ITNewcom Foundation’s vision is to give Indigenous Australians an opportunity to continue the education journey through University and to see more and more Indigenous Australians joining the ranks of the professions. Ultimately, we would like to see many Indigenous Australians comfortably occupying seats at the boardroom table.
The ITNewcom Foundation will award its first scholarship for the 2012 academic year.
