Following is an excerpt from a story recently published in the RMIT news.
A $100,000 gift to RMIT from soft facility services company GJK Facility Services will help disadvantaged students overcome the barriers they face to higher education.
The generous gift will fund the GJK Facility Services Scholarship, worth up to $10,000 a year for three years.
The scholarship is aimed at students who face challenges in accessing higher education, particularly those identifying as women, from rural or financially disadvantaged backgrounds, or pursuing science, technology, engineering or mathematics disciplines. “The hope is that the funding will help recipients achieve their educational and career aspirations and, ultimately, bring about positive change in the community.
