The Chancellor's Challenge brings together corporate and industry with academic members of the University community for a stimulating afternoon of golf and to raise much needed funds for special projects at the University. Last year the Chancellor’s Challenge raised approximately $16,000 for ‘International Experience’ grants, an initiative of the University which provides financially disadvantaged students with the opportunity to complete part of their studies in another country. In previous years we have raised funds for research scholarships; computer software to assist our vision impaired students; and for a range of scholarships for financially and educationally disadvantaged students.
