Sam Cheah

In 2015 Sam Cheah was awarded the Tillyard Prize, the most prestigious award prize for undergraduate students at ANU.

Whilst studying at ANU, Sam co-founded the university outreach program Engage, a Canberra-based not for profit which gives high school students in regional areas the chance to meet university students and take part in hands-on workshops relevant to university topics.

Engage, has partnered three different outreach organisations to visit 626 students at 15 different schools in New South Wales and ACT. Sam has big plans to grow Engage beyond a voluntary organisation following her graduation in December 2015.
