PREVIOUISLY SUPPORTED ACTIVITIES

The Circle of Visionaries has already supported ground-breaking cancer research at UOW, provided merit-based scholarships and helped improve Library facilities.

"The donation received from the Circle of Visionaries for cancer research at the University has been of great benefit in enabling us to progress a key line of research into future cancer treatments, particularly with respect to colorectal and breast cancer. The donation has been invaluable in supporting our research and key chemical and biological studies. We are very grateful for this support." Professor John Bremner Faculty of Science
"The Office of Community and Partnerships was extremely grateful to receive a donation of $2,500 for a merit-based scholarship for UOW students who are children of UOW Alumni. Merit-based scholarships provide valuable support to students, assisting them with financial commitments such as textbooks, accommodation and other compulsory fees. The first Children of Alumni Scholarship was awarded to an undergraduate student in Autumn 2006." Patrick O'Connor Development and Scholarships Coordinator Office of Community and Partnerships
"The Library would like to thank the Circle of Visionaries for their generous donation, which will ultimately enable UOW students to broaden their outlooks through overseas experiences. The funds are being used to support the development of the "See the World" collection, a series of popular guides to help students plan their international exchange, research or study tips."
