THE Lift Off Scholarship Program is celebrating their 10th year of helping local students into post-secondary education by helping to overcome financial and other barriers to their education aspirations and to achieving their full potential.

The Lift Off Scholarship Program was established in response to the increasing number of young people not able to afford the transition from secondary education to post-secondary education.

To celebrate, they are holding a fundraising dinner on Tuesday, May 23, in a bid to help raise funds for the next 10 years of scholarships. The event will be held at Shepparton Brewery.

“The Lift-Off Scholarships are made possible via donations by business or individuals sponsoring a scholarship. If you would like to change the trajectory of a young persons’ life and help them achieve their education aspirations, we always welcome new scholarship sponsors,” said Greater Shepparton Foundation CEO, Amanda McCulloch.
