A FOUNDATION which helps students at Frankston Chisholm complete their studies has received a $20,000 donation.
The donation to the Caroline Chisholm Education Foundation came from the Peninsula Kingswood Community Foundation. The CCEF provides funding for TAFE students to help them study, with money going towards their fees.
CCEF executive officer Farrah Buckland said the donation would make a big difference. “This donation will improve the lives of many Chisholm students across the south-east who may otherwise not have the funds to access education,” she said. “We are delighted to be partnering with PKCF to help marginalised students achieve their education and career goals.”
PKCF chair Glenn Fernandez said “when we considered CCEF we noted that more than 60 per cent of its scholarships are granted to women to acquire skills and education.”
“We know that this donation and formed partnership can lead to positive long term economic outcomes and change the trajectory of lives, away from inter-generational poverty and disadvantage for individuals,” she said.
