The Helen Macpherson Smith Trust
'The Helen Macpherson Smith Trust and Deakin University share a commitment to rural and regional Victoria. The scholarships from the Trust provide an opportunity for young Victorian women, from rural and regional areas, to access tertiary education. They also reflect the generosity of the pioneers of Helen's forebears who made much of their wealth in rural colonial Victoria.'
Mr Darvell Hutchinson AM, Chairman of Trustees.
The George Alexander Foundation

Philanthropy has an important role to play in making higher education accessible to as many people as possible.'
Ms Janet Hirst, Chief Executive Officer.
