About Gavin Wanganeen
Brownlow Medallist, premiership player, five-time All-Australian, Port Power Best & Fairest, and first Aboriginal Australian AFL Life Member, former football player, Gavin Wanganeen is genuinely admired by all who love the game.
More than that, Gavin has become a role model for Aboriginal youth – something he takes very seriously. That is why he lent his patronage and encouragement to a scholarship first set up by the University of South Australia to help Aboriginal students achieve their higher education goals. Established in 2005, this scholarship showcases Gavin’s commitment to providing opportunities for Aboriginal youth.
"Football has given me some wonderful opportunities, a strong sense of achievement and an understanding that role models can make a difference to people's lives. I believe Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander kids need a range of role models – some in sport but also other careers.”
Gavin Wanganeen, scholarship patron.
