As Australia welcomes back international students, a Victorian university is helping refugee students achieve their education dreams by offering a unique scholarship.
SuppliedMs Dehghani, who came to Australia from Iran in 2013 and spent two years in a detention centre, said the opportunity had finally given her some stability in life.
Ms Dehghani benefited from a scholarship program at RMIT University that gives asylum seekers and refugee students a chance to transform their lives through education. “This program is specifically for people whose claim for refugee status has not yet been determined by the government,” Lara Rafferty, the program’s manager, told SBS News.
“We also provide reference letters affirming their asylum-seeker status and supporting their application process,” Ms Ajetomobi said.
