Because They Dare – Curtin University Annual Appeal
Curtin is dedicated to making higher education truly accessible for all determined minds. Through the Because They Dare Annual Appeal, we will create pathways of support and remarkable experiences that allow us to walk beside our students as they grow not just in knowledge but into their sense of self and their role within the wider community.
The 2025 Because They Dare Annual Appeal will run between Monday 25 August to Thursday 4 December. A current Curtin student may call or text you on 08 9266 2727.
Support access to education
We need all kinds of minds and voices to build a better tomorrow. By supporting access to education, we can break down the barriers hindering our leaders of tomorrow. Together, we can foster a more inclusive educational environment that empowers all students to not just survive but thrive.
Support the student experience
Experiential learning opportunities not only deepens a students’ understanding of their field but also fosters their personal and professional growth. Supporting the student experience at Curtin empowers students who may face financial barriers to pursue development opportunities that could otherwise be out of reach.
