• Student Grace Stals:
    the law Equity scholarship was really 
    transformative in my ability to study
    law at UTS I just cannot thank the
    donors enough from the bottom of my
    heart I truly wouldn't have been able to
    transcend the social and class barriers
    that I faced as someone who doesn't have
    a significant amount of family support
    myself it certainly made the world a
    difference to my life trajectory as a
    human being but also my career
    trajectory as a young lawyer so I can't
    thank them enough
    Professor Anita Stuhmcke:
    the UTS law Equity scholarship is
    something that benefits students who may
    not otherwise be able to have access to
    study law and often it's the diversity
    that these students bring that's going
    to enrich both the students that are
    around them who study law and eventually
    also the profession that they go into
    whether that be the legal profession or
    any other 
    Student Fatma Alameddine:
    being awarded the scholarship
    was much more instrumental Beyond being
    able to access technology and resources
    it really helped shape the direction of
    my career and also helped shape the
    direction of where I want to make an
    impact moving forward being the
    recipient of the scholarship really
    changed my life for the better and it
    helped shape my approach to law beyond
    the transactional being able to help
    ordinary Australians I want to be an
    instrument through which disadvantaged
    people can be inspired that's really the
    direction I want to move forward in and
    the scholarship itself was what inspired
    me to move forward with that 
     
    Student Grace Stals:
    I was really blessed to be um supported by a
    volunteer solicit and that support
    really allowed me to have housing and it
    allowed me to finish um my studies to go
    on to University so I think seeing the
    transformative aspects of the law really
    locked that into something I wanted to
    be a part of   
    Professor Anita Stuhmcke:
    I for one wouldn't have
    been at University but for the fact that
    I had assistance I was first in family
    uh I had to move to come to Sydney and
    it was financially so difficult and I
    think a scholarship like this can be
    just a game Cher education changes
    everything and if you can achieve a law
    degree it's something that you can give
    back to your community with it's a
    privilege it puts us in a position of
    leadership for our communities and it's
    just so valuable 
     
    Student Fatma Alameddine:
    I would just like to
    express my gratitude to the donors this
    scholarship has meant more than I can
    express more than they can imagine it's
    really reshaped the trajectory of not
    only my education but my career it's had
    far-reaching implications Beyond just
    myself but for my family for the
    direction my sisters and siblings are
    taking so thank you truly from the
    bottom of my heart for everything that
    you've done and everything that you
    continue to do 
    Professor Anita Stuhmcke:
    as a donor it makes me
    feel very proud to be in the position
    where I'm able to give back even just a
    little bit of what it is that I myself
    have the privilege to experience that
    idea of giving up something of yourself
    in your own time to commit and further
    the community at your own student
    body or wider than that is something I'm
    very proud of it's so fundamental that
    Equity scholarships are provided to our
    law students we're very grateful to
    those of you who are able to do this and
    look forward to making contact with many
    more who might be willing to do so 
    Student Grace Stals:
    the ongoing support really means the world
    um even though you might not see it
    immediately the incremental accumulative
    benefits the scholarship has over a
    person's life really make a difference
    so thank you so much for your ongoing
    support to the equity
    scholarship 
    Professor Anita Stuhmcke: 
    thank you 
    Student Grace Stals:
    thank you 
    Student Fatma Alameddine:
    thank you
