For Students

"Going to university is about creating opportunities for yourself. It is a great place to make new friends and learn valuable skills you can share with your community. My studies have enabled me to not only achieve my own personal dream of becoming a highly accomplished performer but also to pursue my long term academic and professional goals."

Moses Warusam
Associate Diploma Aboriginal Studies in Music. Equity & Merit Scholarship 1988-89
A brilliant contemporary guitarist and experienced performer of traditional Torres Strait Islander music and dance, Moses performed at the 1999 Asia and Pacific Cultural Festival in Himeji, Japan.

"Studying at university has given me the confidence to undertake many new challenges, and I feel I can contribute positively to Australian Indigenous affairs."
