Westpac Scholars at a W100 Network event in NSW
18 January 2018
In 2014, Westpac Bicentennial Foundation started as an idea – a $100 million gift to the nation from Westpac to fund 100 scholarships a year, forever.
Today, the foundation has welcomed more than 300 Westpac Scholars who are tomorrow’s leaders, thinkers, innovators and pioneers. We’re proud to share with you our first Impact Report that outlines the progress we’re making:
Help Westpac Scholars to be world class leaders equipped with the skills and networks they need to reach their full potential.
2018 highlights:
Create opportunities for collaboration and networking to encourage bold innovation and inspire the future generation of leaders.
2018 highlights:
Westpac Scholars are people like Associate Professor Liz New who is researching fluorescent sensors to help remote communities to instantly check the safety of their drinking water, or Jeremy Forbes who is bridging the gap between tradies in need and suicide support services whose TED Talk has now been viewed more than a million times.
