Supporting Student Potential

At Southern Cross University our students are leaders…of today and tomorrow. The Rising Stars Scholarships program helps support our students to reach their potential and fulfill their dreams. Rising Stars Scholarships aim to reward students who demonstrate outstanding academic potential and provide financial support to students who might otherwise not have the opportunity to achieve a university education.

Southern Cross University invites organisations and individuals to partner with us to support the aspirations of our students.


Alison Young "I am very grateful to have being awarded the Opem Psychology Honours Scholarship. It has assisted me in purchasing a laptop, computer software and textbooks that are necessary for my thesis project. I have also enjoyed meeting my donor and have found our conversations to be a great source of encouragement."
