Applying through the Gadigal Program and gaining scholarships changed the game. I could live and not have to worry about working, because at one point I was working three jobs. Some of my peers had financial support from their parents but my parents weren’t able to financially support me. The scholarships allowed me to fully focus on my studies without the burden of stressing whether or not I was going to be able to afford to live.
