Country Education Foundation of Orange and District (CEF Orange) provides grants, scholarships and support to local school leavers who aspire to further education after school.
Students from rural, regional and remote areas face unique and often significant challenges in undertaking, aspiring to and accessing education. We know that our students always show resilience and determination, finding a way to make their education goals a reality.
CEF Orange fundraises throughout the year to provide grants and support local students in a diverse range of education and career pursuits including apprenticeships, traineeships, cadetships, degrees, diplomas and certificate level studies or entry careers. We reimburse the student for a education expenses or pay the goods and services providers directly.
We award funds on the basis of financial need, to those who are leaving school or have left school but have not been able to take up opportunities open to them.
In helping these young people, we are saying “we want young people in our community to have a better future, to reach their goals, and to help improve our collective life. We understand that supporting our young people builds a stronger community for us all – and we’re prepared to do as much as we can to make that happen”.
As a part of the Country Education Foundation network, our contribution is included in the National Impact Report 2023.
