You can help a student receive a transformative education
Meet some of our recipients
At Griffith University, the Brighter Futures Scholarship recipients regularly share inspiring stories of aspiration and dedication.
These students excel in their studies while overcoming personal and financial challenges, embodying the true spirit of resilience. Their gratitude for this life-changing financial support is evident in their unwavering commitment to excellence, both at university and beyond.
We invite you to enjoy their stories and consider supporting more students through the Brighter Futures Scholarship Program. Your generosity can mean the difference between a student halting or completing their studies.

Harmony Otrupcek
For Gamilaraay woman Harmony Otrupcek, art is more than just a form of expression—it’s a way of connecting with and understanding the world. Beyond financial support, the Brighter Futures Scholarship is providing the mental space for her to explore opportunities and develop creatively.
Chelsea Thorn
Having never graduated high school—and lacking an ATAR—Chelsea chose Griffith University for its support, flexibility and willingness to help people with alternative pathways into higher education. She’s come a long way from the New Zealand town of Motueka, where she had to leave high school during her final year to work full time, to criminal prosecuting for the Queensland Police Service on the Gold Coast.
