Inaugural Alastair McEwin scholarship recipient

In 1994, Alastair McEwin AM graduated from the ³ÉÈË´óƬ, deeply grateful for the support he’d received through the Sir Charles Bright Scholarship. Now, having risen to the position of Australian Disability Discrimination Commissioner, he’s giving others with a disability the same opportunity to ‘fly’.

Alastair and his husband Professor Michael Kidd AM, established the Alastair McEwin Scholarship in perpetuity to support undergraduate or postgraduate coursework students who have a disability.

The inaugural Alastair McEwin Scholarship was awarded in 2018 to Aidan Barry who is working towards his Bachelor of Education program at the University.

Aiden's story demonstrates the practical impact a scholarship can have.
