From Burma to ACU: discover where an ACU scholarship has taken Lay Lay

“I feel so blessed to be studying at ACU. Sometimes I think it is just a dream. I have been overwhelmed with offers of support and assistance from the University. Eight years ago I couldn't even speak English, so the offers of help have been wonderful. I am very grateful to receive my scholarship because it really helps me financially. Winning it was a great surprise to me – and a great honour.”

Together, we can make a difference

Since 2008, the number of ACU students has doubled from 16,000 to 32,000. However, the number of scholarships has not kept pace to support more students like Lay Lay.

At ACU:

• 2,065 students live with disabilities
• 3,562 students have a low socio-economic status
• 3,296 students come from regional and remote areas.

To provide scholarships for students facing obstacles to their studies, ACU launched the Creating Opportunity Fund.
