Highest priorities

VU Crowdfunding

Dedicated VU researchers and students have stopped wondering and started working. And they need your support.

We’re showcasing 7 ground-breaking VU projects, including real-world research to stop the spread of cancer, new homes from Australian wildlife and a rather nifty solution for helping keep our environment plastic-free.

And we’re inviting you to back the project of your choice in our first ever VU Crowdfunding campaign.

Student Support Appeal

Help our students thrive.

Many students are still struggling to pay for essentials like food and rent as the cost of living rises.

Others can’t afford to buy the books and equipment they need to finish their studies.

Your generous donation today will help a student to keep studying.
