Three Commonwealth Scholars joined the ACU delegation to the 20th Commonwealth Conference of Education Ministers (20CCEM), to represent youth perspectives and reinforce the importance of scholarships to education ministers.

As part of their role, these scholars attended various sessions, including the Students Forum and the Integrated Partners Forum, where they were able to directly engage with ministers, advocate for the impact of Commonwealth Scholarships and network with delegates from other Commonwealth education organisations.
