SCHOLARSHIPS

We endeavour to improving school attendance and academic performances for students of marginalized family background through scholarships. Weak literacy and numeracy skills can lead to disadvantage in terms of limited access to desirable employment opportunities or unemployment (OECD 2017). One in five Australians had low literacy and/or numeracy skills, with numeracy a particular challenge (OECD 2017). The 2024 NAPLAN report shows that one in three Australian students isn’t meeting literacy standards (ABC, 2026). In the United States, about 21% of adults are illiterate, and nearly 40% of students nationwide cannot read at a basic level, with low-income children disproportionately affected.
