Grant for Mentoring Program
Our Club provides financial support each year to a Grade 12 female student completing her studies at both Balmoral and Yeronga State High Schools. The bursary provides financial assistance for a period of three years subject to completion of each year of study and re-enrolment and is designed to encourage these students to complete tertiary studies.
The Brisbane Airport Corporation Community Fund has just given our Club a $1000 grant to enable us to introduce a mentoring program for these six students receiving our bursary. Through the mentoring program our students will have access to a mentor in their field to encourage and provide support to them as they enter their chosen career and complete their chosen course of study.
We sincerely thank the BAC for this grant which will enable us to further advance the Zonta Mission of Empowering Women Through Service and Advocacy.
