The Foundation provides disadvantaged young people with access to higher education through pathway scholarships, enabling young Australians to undertake university courses and build knowledge, networks, and skills and forge careers in their chosen field.
The Young Achievers Program supports disadvantaged Queensland state high school students by engaging and mentoring them throughout their final school years and supporting their academic journey. BFF provides scholarships to enable young aspiring Australians to continue their journey at university.
In 2020 a BFF gift helped establish the Monash Achieving Potential Perpetual Fund and the Bowness Family Foundation Achieving Potential Scholarship. This endowment fund enables the University to pool donated funds supporting access to education and will give academically bright students from disadvantaged backgrounds the chance to reach their full potential for decades to come.
