What benefits do the ACS Foundation programmes deliver to the donor/partner organisations?
There are a number of significant cost savings for donors to the ACS Foundation scholarship program. The ACS Foundation is an ATO designated gift recipient (DGR) organisation and all donations are fully tax-deductible. This enables donors/partners to address the issue of relevancy of graduates, in two different ways – the Grow a Graduate (GAG) programme allows the donor to specify the skills they want a graduate to have and the Work Integrated Learning (WIL) programme allows the donor/partner to train the student in actual work place conditions, and give the student first-hand experience so that they are better able to select relevant subjects and modules when they go back to finish their degree.
