Ellen Rigby Memorial Scholarship
This scholarship was established by Comacon’s Managing Director in honour of her late grandmother, Ellen Rigby. Hard work, determination, honour, loyalty, a commitment to supporting women and a strong sense of social justice were core components of who Ellen was and are attributes required of successful applicants.
The scholarship is open to new or continuing students at the Western Sydney University, studying any undergraduate degree within the School of Humanities & Communication Arts, School of Social Sciences, and School of Psychology.
You can read more about the scholarship in our program guidelines.
The application process for this scholarship is managed by Western Sydney University.
Donations
Comacon regularly donates to local charities who support and help meet the basic daily needs of people who are vulnerable. This includes people experiencing homelessness and women and families in need.
Charities we have supported include Father Bob McGuire Foundation and Mum’s Supporting Families in Need. When we are working on projects with our clients, we also look for opportunities to leave a legacy for the communities in which we work whether this be through supporting a local charity or initiative.
We select the charities which we donate to and do not accept requests for donations.
