Corporate Giving

The greatest investment we can make is in those who will carry the possibilities of tomorrow. 

Working closely with our alumni, corporate partners and philanthropic friends, Swinburne is developing next gen Futures Funds to create industry specific excellence groups. Across each, we aim to inspire and invigorate a pipeline of career-ready, innovative and entrepreneurial graduates – our future leaders. Vitally, we do so in collaborative partnerships with business, industry and the community. 

Your philanthropic investment will support excellence scholarships, plus the wrap-around supports we know engender the greatest academic success. You create innovative education and real-world experiences that will help future-proof industry workforce and ensure talented, professional Swinburne graduates will continue to lead society. 

Our aim is to ensure everyone who wants to study at Swinburne can access the opportunity of a quality education, regardless of personal circumstances. Our vision is to ensure student success – helping them achieve great educational outcomes and go on to have incredible careers. 

While scholarships solve many of the challenges around accessing higher education and creating the conditions whereby students can excel, students also may need additional support to transition into higher education, to feel they belong, to access technology and accommodation, academic support and so on. Customised wrap around supports, enabled by generous donors, is how we provide this extra level of assistance. 

With your support, our Indigenous Advancement program will increase participation and successful completion of tertiary qualifications for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. We will ensure Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are culturally safe and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander self-determination and knowledges are embedded across the Swinburne.

We find ways to express this through our strategic priorities of future-ready learners, research with impact, and innovative enterprises. These aspirations include improved health and increased access and achievement in vocational and higher education and employment.

Swinburne’s focus on women in STEM is designed to address the under-representation of women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics - it is a key plank of our gender equity strategy Swinburne-wide. Our vision is to be a world-class university, creating social and economic impact through science, technology and innovation. To realise this, there is a clear and pressing imperative to encourage the best female minds into STEM, so that they may play their vital role in advancing Australia's competitive capability, creating opportunities and supporting talented individuals to achieve their full potential. 

By supporting Women in STEM, you champion the principles of excellence, access and equity, ensuring that all our brightest minds are supported, nurtured and inspired, regardless of their gender.
