Give to the Narrm Scholarship Program

Scholarship support can make all the difference to a student who feels that a university education is out of reach. Through the Narrm Scholarship Program, students receive wrap-around financial and practical support for the duration of their undergraduate degrees. Help us give every talented student the resources they need to succeed.

Become a mentor

Our alumni mentors gain a great sense of purpose and fulfilment from being a source of encouragement to students and young alumni – and often learn some new skills themselves. Your industry insights can also be a great benefit to those starting out in their careers – and you likely have more to offer than you realise.
