Robb Foundation
The Robb College Foundation was established in 1987. It exists to support students who wish to join Robb College and complete their degrees at UNE. We help the Master of Robb to attract, retain and build talented students to become quality leaders and contributors to agriculture, industry and rural-communities in their future careers.
We achieve this by:
· Raising funds for scholarships to support talented students.
· Supporting the re-building and re-furbishing of Robb College.
· Creating career opportunities for Robb students & scholars through links with our Alumni, Industries and the UNE Faculties plus co-operative employer scholarship and work-experience programs.
· Support & initiate personal-development, leadership coaching and management skills for our scholars & students.
The Robb College Foundation provides highly sought scholarships.
· We are a registered Association.
· Our Trust Funds are with the UNE Foundation (UNEF) under a Donor Agreement.
· They are managed by a professional, external investment manager contracted by UNEF.
· UNEF issues tax-receipts for donations as a Deductible Gift Recipient.
We are seeking donations from Alumni and Benefactors to launch a series of new Leadership Scholarships for talented Graduates plus post-graduate research students that will combine with employers to lift engagement with, work-experience and financial support for talented Robb students.
Donations to the Robb Foundation Scholarship or Building Trust accounts are tax-deductible and are set-up to be solely devoted towards Robb College and its residents. Our funds are managed by the UNE Foundation which has DGR status and the funds are professionally managed by an external fund-manager.
Supporting Robb Foundation scholarships will help secure education for talented, young people from rural areas who may not normally be able to afford undertaking a higher-qualification and/or may be impacted by drought and the rural economic cycle on the family but who may continue to become a future leader in solving economic and rural problems.
