In 1979, a young Aboriginal boy from rural Queensland was awarded a scholarship to attend Toowoomba Grammar School. That boy, Waverley Stanley, went on to become the first Indigenous student in the school’s 100+ year history to complete Year 12 and be appointed as Prefect.
26 years later, Waverley and his wife, Llew Mullins, founded Yalari with a vision to provide more young Indigenous children from remote and regional areas with the same life-changing opportunities. Supported by a dedicated network of individuals, businesses, and foundations, Yalari’s Rosemary Bishop Indigenous Education Scholarships are awarded annually to approximately 60 students, covering full tuition and boarding at some of Australia’s leading schools.
We believe education is the key to generational change and a brighter future for Indigenous Australians and for our nation. We are deeply committed to the ongoing success of our national program of scholarships, student support and post-school opportunities to educate Indigenous children and empower future leaders.
