The Condamine Valley-Warwick Branch of the Queensland Country Women’s Association is once again offering to give two first-year university or TAFE students from the region a big helping hand in 2017.
The branch has for many years offered bursaries to students entering their first year of university or other tertiary study and who are struggling financially.
Two $1500 bursaries are on offer this year, with applications closing at the end of January.
The bursaries are offered by QCWA branches across the state.
Both female and male students can apply for the bursaries.
Bursary applicants need to submit written proof of achievement, the need for financial support, three character references, details of the course and a short resume.
Students must reside within the QCWA Border Division area, which includes Warwick, Stanthorpe and all other communities within the Southern Downs Regional Council area, along with Clifton, Inglewood and Texas.
Applications close on 19 January 2018, and forms are available from the QCWA Tea Room on Grafton Street – next to Crisps Coaches – from Monday to Friday between 9am and 1pm.
