We provide several programs to open pathways for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and executives to further their academic excellence through The Study Tour, The Scholarship Program and Executive Education Bursaries. Aurora Scholars are trailblazing new pathways for Indigenous students and guiding the paths for the next generation.
The Study Tour is a 5-week academic visit to some of the world’s best universities including UC Berkeley, Columbia, Harvard, New York University and Stanford in the US, and Cambridge, London School of Economics and Oxford in the UK. The aim of the Study Tour is for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to build networks of support and gain an understanding of their options and pathways for success at leading overseas universities.
We remove financial obstacles to overseas and domestic study by connecting students with scholarships, including the Charlie Perkins Scholarship, Roberta Sykes Scholarship and the Lorna Earl and William Woodberry (LEWW) Scholarship, each of which Aurora administers.
We support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander managers, entrepreneurs and leaders to attend executive education programs at some of the world’s best institutions, including Harvard Business School, Harvard Kennedy School and INSEAD.
The Study Tour, Charlie Perkins Scholarship and the Roberta Sykes Scholarship are aimed at Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander scholars who are interested in postgraduate study overseas.
The LEWW Scholarship is aimed at Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander undergraduate students entering their second year of study at a NSW university.
