Aboriginal student aims to inspire

Aboriginal ANU student Brogan Goode says he hopes his own success at university can inspire more indigenous Australians to pursue degrees.

Mr Goode will formally receive a $5000 scholarship for indigenous students tonight from the university’s College of Business and Economics.

“By receiving this scholarship award I believe that I can make a difference in the wider indigenous community by advocating the importance of a tertiary education,” he said.

Mr Goode is a member of the Darug tribe from Blacktown in Sydney, and is in his second year of a Bachelor of International Business degree.

He is also the 2013 Indigenous Officer on the board of the ANU Student Association, and has recently been appointed a student ambassador for the College of Business and Economics.
