How you’ve made a difference in 2022

You’re creating a brighter future

With you by our side, we're making an enormous impact on our community and the world.

Thank you from our Vice-Chancellor

Hello. I really want to thank you for supporting UOW in 2022.

Our donors are a critical part of our success.  With your support, we can deliver crucial funds to areas that wouldn’t otherwise be funded. Last year, UOW supporters gave to several funds across the University including research and student support. 100 per cent of funds go directly to the causes our donors choose. The benefits have been felt immediately for students and long-term for research, ultimately contributing to the betterment of our society.

Donations to our world-class research have the power to change the lives of people here in the Illawarra and globally. And donations to scholarships allow us to give students financial assistance. Many students wouldn’t have access to higher education without this help. UOW has worked hard to become one of the world’s most respected modern universities. Last year, the University was ranked among the world’s top 200 universities and number 10 in Australia. Through our research and student success, I know that UOW can continue to have an enormous impact locally in our community, and around the world. But we can’t do it alone. We rely on the support of generous people like you. Together, we can create a better future. So thank you again from the University of Wollongong.

2022 impact

Life-changing support

Universities have never been more important to our future. We're committed to finding solutions and driving positive change in a world facing large and complex social, environmental and economic challenges.

In 2022, we saw students from all backgrounds and skills thrive. And our world-class researchers continued to find breakthroughs that will change the lives of people around the world.

But this wouldn’t be possible without people like you. Your passion and dedication to supporting research and education is making a huge impact.

Gifts of all sizes have the power to change lives. And when you donate to the University of Wollongong, 100 per cent of the funds you give will go directly to the cause you choose.

Without you – our amazing supporters – many students wouldn’t have access to higher education, and life-saving research wouldn’t have the funding to continue.

Thank you to all our donors.
