About the Honorary Alumni Chapter
The Honorary Alumni Chapter is a network of alumni who have been awarded either an Honorary degree, an Emeritus Professorship or a University Felllowship from the University of Wollongong.

Honorary Chapter Scholarship Fund
The Honorary Chapter Scholarship Fund was established to help address the needs of students facing difficulty investing in their education. The Chapter understands that a solid beginning catapults a world of opportunities for a brighter future as well as encourages other students from similar backgrounds.
The Chapter aims to raise funds to award one new scholarship each year, with each scholarship lasting for one year. Each scholarship will be valued at $3000 per annum.
The Honorary Alumni Chapter encourages alumni and friends to join them in their efforts to help our students launch better lives for themselves by donating in whatever capacity you can.
