Country Education Foundation of the Namoi

CEF Namoi supports local youth to achieve their career aspirations through post-school education and training.

CEF Namoi

Country Education Foundation of the Namoi (CEF Namoi) 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 rural 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.

CEF Namoi fundraises throughout the year and accepts donations from local residents and businesses 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.

He was a soldier, a statesman, and a champion for rural and regional Australia. The Tim Fischer Fellowship honours his legacy by supporting those who are passionate about making a difference.

Earlier this month, on a chilly winter's evening, we joined our partner, @drewscollege at their Orange Regional Reunion, kindly hosted by @rosshillwines .

These events are powerful reminders of the strength of regional communities and the importance of creating pathways for regional students, especially as they relocate to metropolitan areas for the first time. 

Thank you St Andrew's for a great evening and for your ongoing commitment to CEF and rural and regional youth.
