Moorditj Yorga Scholarship Program

We’ve all been influenced by strong women, or ‘moorditj yorga,’ in our lives – mothers, sisters, aunts, teachers, colleagues and friends.

Together, we can provide the opportunity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women – who may feel the promise of higher education has passed them by – to enter and succeed at university. Find out how you can support moorditj women so they can return to their communities as strong leaders and role models.

Meeting for the first time when they were kids in their hometown, Curtin soon-to-be graduates Patrick Catambay (Mechanical Engineering & Finance) and Chelsea Barth (Finance & Financial Planning) pretty much grew up together. 🎓💘   After Patrick asked for Chelsea’s number during a fireworks show, the pair went on two coffee dates and their relationship has blossomed since.   Although they didn’t share any classes together at Curtin, Chelsea and Patrick will never live down the funny moments they spent studying in the library armed with copious snacks and endless laughs.   An exciting future ahead, the duo plan to travel the world and undertake graduate roles at the end of the year.   When it comes to successfully balancing a relationship while studying and working, the pair agree that open communication and setting aside quality time together will help keep the relationship strong.   Want more heart-warming graduate stories?
