Write
your place in the history of UniSA
Anyone who has studied will understand just how important the Library is in the life of all students - It is the place where every student and academic will find themselves searching for answers to the questions that lie at the foundations of their particular discipline of study.
With a university population exceeding 35,000 students and academic staff, the demand for new books and resources far exceeds the funds we have to meet it.
By supporting us today, you will not only be ensuring the future of our library but your own place in our history.
When you ‘sponsor’ the purchase of a new book, donations of $100 or more will be acknowledged via a personalised bookplate inside a new textbook. Your name will live in our library for many years into the future, supporting the studies and research of thousands of students and academics. Our students will see the support provided by the wider UniSA community.
Alternatively, you may choose to support our electronic library. All donations of $100 or more will be acknowledged via an electronic bookplate on the Library home page. You can even choose the field of study closest to your own heart.

Gavin Wanganeen indigenous Scholarship success
Thanks to the generosity of corporate and individual donors, the 2007 appeal for the Gavin Wanganeen Indigenous Scholarship raised over $30,000, making it possible for the program to continue well into 2010.
Gavin Wanganeen is the first Aboriginal to receive an AFL life membership for playing 300 official matches. He is also a premiership star, Brownlow medallist, five-time All Australian and Best-and-Fairest winner with Port Adelaide Football Club. Gavin is a role model and representative for Indigenous youth in Australia and UniSA is the only university in Australia which has identified a commitment to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander education in its charter.
The Gavin Wanganeen Indigenous Scholarship is open to Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islanders who are enrolled in any undergraduate program at UniSA. Recipients are chosen from candidates who are financially or educationally disadvantaged, who can show that they have the will to succeed and who actively participate in community activity. The scholarship, valued at $5,000 per annum, is available for each year of the recipient’s undergraduate program at UniSA (3 or 4 years). Since its inception in 2005, four scholarships have been awarded to worthy students.

Some
things never change.
The difference a good education makes hasn’t changed. Quality education opens a world of possibility and opportunity to young people. This is especially true for our state’s financially disadvantaged and rural or isolated students.
But the tools have changed. Advances in technology are constantly altering the face of education. Unfortunately the cost of resources and access leaves some students behind.
Please
help disadvantaged students. Through the following programs UniSA extends
opportunities to students who would otherwise not be able to access an
education.
Your donation to these programs can have an effect that lasts a lifetime.
Rural and isolated scholarship
Crucial support to academically able but financially disadvantaged students from isolated locations. The funds help students with the relocation and accommodation expenses of a university education.
Laptop for loan initiative
Laptop computers are provided on short-term loan to UniSA students who don’t have access to a computer at home. Currently 20 laptops are available from the UniSA library, each one servicing up to 1,000 students across four campuses. The cost of a new laptop for this program is approximately $2,500.
