The Queensland Country Women’s Association (QCWA) invites male and female secondary and tertiary students in Queensland to apply for a range of 2025 bursary offerings.
More than 15 bursaries are on offer, each valued between $500 and $5000.
The bursaries cover different ages and areas of study and provide financial assistance to students to enable them to pursue their educational goals.
QCWA state president Tamara Stephensen said the annual bursary campaign was one of the association’s great joys in being able to support the Queensland community.
“At QCWA we have a strong desire to help others,” she said.
“Education is important to us, so we offer a number of bursaries every year to assist Queensland students with the cost of their studies.
“We know 2024 has been a difficult year for Queensland families with many experiencing financial hardship. For some, one of these bursaries could mean the career-defining difference between their child continuing their studies or not.”
Some of the bursaries on offer include:
• Ruth Fairfax Memorial Bursary for rural studies (two x $2,500)
• Audrey J Hoskin Music Bursary for vocal or instrumental studies (one x $1,000)
• Daphne Dowdle Midwifery Bursary (one x $1,000)
• Mallalieu Home Foundation Trust Scholarship for accommodation for music study (four x $500)
• State Photography Bursary (one x $500)
• Plus a range of regional bursaries for students who reside in different QCWA divisions.
