Aldan Clinch had always dreamed of attending university but, with his life dominated by regular stints in prison, this often seemed unattainable. In 2020, while incarcerated at Casuarina Prison, Aldan decided to pursue his long-held goal. He enrolled in Curtin\u2019s Indigenous Tertiary Enabling Course (ITEC) and quickly began to thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the unwavering support of tutor, Narelle Guest, Aldan successfully completed his course. He then enrolled in Environmental Science with plans to combine his degree with his cultural knowledge to care for Country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Curtin alumna and Moorditj Yorga Scholarship recipient<\/strong><\/p>

“Throughout my degree, there were many moments when I wanted to give up. Juggling full-time study, personal challenges, and financial stress wasn\u2019t easy. But my determination to succeed and my desire to find my \u201cforever career\u201d kept me going. At 30 years old, after multiple career changes, I had finally found my true passion.<\/p>

The scholarship didn\u2019t just provide financial support; it offered holistic support, and I felt incredibly fortunate to have this network behind me.”<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>
