Hastings Education Fund

Hastings and postcodes 2443, 2444, 2445, 2446 and 2439

The Hastings Education Fund was established to provide much needed financial assistance and support to local youth to help them achieve their post-high school education, training and vocation aspirations. We recognise that the cost of regional students pursuing their post-high school goals is often much greater than those of their metropolitan counterparts and that sometimes these costs can be prohibitive.

With this in mind, the Hastings Education Fund fundraises throughout the year and accepts donations from local residents and businesses in order to provide financial grants to students who need an extra helping hand. The funds come directly from your local community – none of it is government-funded – celebrating the aspirations of local youth and working to help them achieve these aspirations. It’s our way of saying “we believe in you and want to support your goals”.

As we were unable to have our mid-year sponsors and supporters appreciation event this year, we have made a short video which provides feedback from our students and the HEF committee. You will learn from this video that your generous and continuing support for the 2020 students in pursuing their further education and career goals is very much appreciated - especially in helping them cope with this year's challenges.

We are keen to offer a high level of support to students in 2021 and you can be assured that all donations and sponsorships are valued and life-changing for our young grant recipients.
