Chances for Children

Our unique philanthropic model ensures that every dollar donated goes directly to supporting our scholarship recipients, helping young people like Isabell Alchin (pictured) to access education and opportunities that can change their lives 💙

Too many talented and hardworking young people miss out simply because of financial barriers. With your support, we can remove those barriers and give them the chance to reach their full potential.

If you know someone aged 24 and under who wants to continue their education or has a talent or passion in sport, the arts, music or leadership, we want to hear from you! 📚

We're inviting education and welfare professionals such as principals, teachers, careers counsellors, youth workers, and coaches, to submit a nomination on behalf of an eligible young person.

Complete the online nominations form via our website and we'll take care of the rest 👉 https://bit.ly/Chances-Nominations

We're delighted to welcome Rotary Mildura Deakin as our newest scholarship partner.

From 2026, the Club will provide a $3,500 annual scholarship for up to four years, supporting one tertiary student to pursue their educational goals and build a brighter future.

This scholarship will recognise a young person who demonstrates strong communication and teamwork skills, leadership potential, respect for diversity and inclusion, and a genuine commitment to giving back to their community.

Since its establishment in 1994, the Rotary Club of Mildura Deakin has championed initiatives that develop leadership and create opportunities for young people across our region. We are incredibly grateful for their commitment to investing in the next generation.

Together, we're helping local young people reach their full potential.

Thank you, Rotary Mildura Deakin, for partnering with Chances for Children and making a lasting difference.

📚 Scholarship applications are now open! If you're aged 24 or under and planning to study at university, TAFE or through an apprenticeship in 2027, you could be eligible to apply.
