Quotes from past recipients:
"Since I got scholarship, I spend more time on my study. Before I used to work as well study but it was very hard to give time to my study. Now because of scholarship I'm financially stable and can focus on study" - Advanced Diploma of Engineering student
"The benefits of this scholarship to me was that I can focus more on studying, gaining more knowledge and hopefully obtain better results. I intend to use my scholarship for buying materials and textbooks for my course. I will also use it to fund for my travels on public transport to and from university. It will assist me in achieving academic success by being able to afford materials such as a stethoscope, nursing dictionaries and textbooks." - Diploma of Nursing student
