Zonta Club of Stanthorpe Scholarship Winner 2019

Correspondence Secretary Jenny Lutter & Club President Peggy Channon, present cheque to Brielle Williamson 2019 Zonta Scholarship Winner

The Zonta Club of Stanthorpe offers an Annual $1000 Scholarship to Year 12 Female Students studying at both local HIgh Schools, who intend to continue their education the year after finishing year 12.  We had 4 applicants who were all worthy winners. The recipient of the Scholarship for 2019 is Brielle Williamson, who is studying a Bachelor of Fine Arts majoring in Creative Writing at QUT.  Brielle recently wrote to the club to give us a brief rundown on her experience over the past 2 months of living in Brisbane and studying. Coming from a small town, where there is no public transport, you know many people so on moving to the city where you need to negotiate bus routes and don’t know anyone can be daunting at first. Studying alongside a variety of people has opened her eyes to other courses she may never considered before. While English still remains her passion she is happy to be able to share this with countless like-minded people. Living and studying alongside new people has particulary tested Brielle who is currently preparing for assessment. She is grateful for the support from her Stanthorpe Community who are still actively guiding her. The Zonta Club of Stanthorpe wish Brielle all the very best in her future and look forward to hearing updates on her experiences.
