Harding Miller Education Foundation - Scholarships for girls that change lives

We recently joined forces with Combine Air for an exciting fundraising event at the Cat & Fiddle Hotel in Balmain. This is the second time we have collaborated with Combine Air to raise much-needed funds for the Harding Miller Education Foundation. The night was made even more special with the presence of our alumna, Sabah from the Class of 2022, who shared her inspiring experience and the impact that our scholarship has had on her academic journey. Thanks to the generosity of all involved, we raised $5,350, which will go towards supporting high-potential girls with the resources and opportunities they need to succeed. Thank you to the amazing team at Combine Air for organising this memorable event and to everyone who attended, those who generously donated prizes, and everyone who made it a success!

In recognition of the International Day of Rural Women, we would like to share the journey of Khawlah, a 2023 Harding Miller alumna who continues to inspire 👩🎓 Khawlah is currently pursuing a double degree at the University of Sydney; a Bachelor of Science majoring in Health and a Bachelor of Advanced Studies majoring in International Relations. She chose these two fields because they will allow her to explore how health impacts communities on both a local and global scale, a topic she has always been passionate about. Coming from a small rural town, Khawlah has seen firsthand the challenges communities face in accessing healthcare and education. This led her to deeply appreciate the value of education, quickly realising that with limited opportunities in small towns, education is one of the keys to expanding her horizons. Khawlah expressed that one of the biggest challenges of living in a rural town was the distance from larger educational institutions. However, instead of seeing that as a limitation, she sought out opportunities online and through community organisations. She also made sure to apply for scholarships and work during her holidays to overcome the financial barriers. When asked about the role rural women play in advancing their communities, Khawlah stated that they are often involved in everything from healthcare to education and community-building efforts. In the long run, she wants to help create opportunities for young people, especially young women, to pursue their own paths to education and empowerment. Read Khawlah's full story on our website! Link below 🔗 Currently, 30% of Harding Miller scholars come from rural areas, and we are committed to supporting these young women in every way possible. We strive to provide rural young women with the tools and guidance they need to realise their full potential, helping them overcome the unique challenges of living in a rural area and empowering them to succeed academically and beyond. #HMEF #InternationalDayofRuralWomen #Scholarships #GirlsEducation

In honour of International Day of the Girl Child, we would like to spotlight Jasmine, an outstanding Class of 2025 scholar from Queensland 👩🎓 Jasmine was recently selected as a participant in the University of Queensland Young ChangeMakers Program, an on-campus experience program aimed at helping Year 11 students become the leaders, thinkers and innovators of the future. Jasmine hopes the program will help her foster new friendships as she believes this is one of the key steps towards building her future. She also wants to develop her leadership and innovative thinking skills, whilst experiencing a taste of university life. Reflecting on the 2024 theme ‘Girls’ vision for the future’, Jasmine also shared her aspirations and hopes for the future. She envisions a future where everyone has equal opportunities without the limitation of societal norms. As someone who recognises the potential of taking every opportunity, she hopes to realise this vision by encouraging others to take a step out of their comfort zone because everyone’s voice has a significant impact. She advises everyone to take on every opportunity that comes their way and utilise it to develop their skills.
