She is talented across the curriculum, a gifted artist and has been awarded a full residential scholarship to The University of Melbourne’s Trinity College for 2021. She is also a volunteer tutor with Edmund Rice Community and Refugee Services.  \nWestern Chances has allowed me to realise what I am capable of and to realise potential I hadn’t previously considered.  \nAt home I had financial and other difficulties, so I was very grateful to be awarded the scholarship to help with textbooks and art supplies. But it’s not just money. Through Western Chances I’ve had some fantastic experiences. Trinity College Young Leaders Program was amazing and the VCE Summer School jump-started my VCE year. Through these programs I definitely have a lot more confidence. I also know there is someone barracking for me and offering support when I need it.  \nThankyou so much to Western Chances. I don’t have the vocabulary to express how deeply grateful I am for everything they’ve done for me.  \nChloe  \n2020highlights  \n772 scholarships awarded.  \n564 renewal scholarships, 208 new scholarships (average scholarship $988)  \nAwarded a record number of scholarships.  \n$762,752 granted.  \nContinued to meet student needs despite disruption caused by COVID-19 .  \n$692,435 in free opportunities provided through our Links Program.  \nSuccessfully moved all events, operations and administration online.  \nRaised over $55,000 at our online Good Business Forum in November.  \n100% of Year12 scholarship recipients successfully completed VCE or equivalent.  \n98% of Year12 scholarship recipients were offered places in tertiary  \ninstitutions or training.  \nIncreased our social media following by 22% .  \n2  \nIt is with great pleasure I report that, despite the significant disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Western Chances continued to support record numbers of talented and motivated young people to achieve their dreams and goals.  \nDuring the year we awarded 772 scholarships valued at over $762,000 and, again, our Year 12 destination stats were outstanding. In addition, we provided free opportunities through our Links Program to the value of $692,435 . We are extremely thankful to our donors and partners for their ongoing generosity and support.  \nIn 2019, we conducted an extensive strategic planning process involving consultation with a range of stakeholders and our new five-year Strategic Plan was completed early in 2020. When the COVID-19 crisis occurred, we paused implementation and developed a Business Continuity Plan with a group of business volunteers, Goodwill Collective, who provided their services on a pro bono basis. The Business Continuity Plan links to the new Strategic Plan and continues to guide our operations as we face the challenges presented in the current operating environment. We envisage that our new Strategic Plan will commence implementation in January.  \nTo build the sustainability of our organisation throughout the pandemic and beyond, we commenced a Big Dreams campaign in November.
