What’s in a name?

29 January 2019
With Westpac’s bicentenary year behind us, Westpac Bicentennial Foundation is changing its name to reflect what is central to its vision and purpose – the scholars. From today, the Westpac Bicentennial Foundation will be known as Westpac Scholars Trust - putting the people who are at the heart of everything it does, front and centre.
It’s business as usual
Did you know that this year, Westpac Scholars Trust will be awarding its 400th Westpac Scholar? That’s people like prosthetics innovator, Mat Bowtell, who is dedicating his life to making 3D printed prosthetic limbs for children - for free. Watch Mat’s story on Westpac Wire:
Awarding 100 scholarships every year, forever, Westpac Scholars Trust will continue to back tomorrow’s leaders, thinkers, innovators and pioneers to help create a brighter future for everyone.
