South Burnett women aged 30 or more who would like to further their personal or business development skills have been invited to apply for a $1000 bursary.
Applications for the Red Earth Community Foundation / Queensland Rural, Regional and Remote Women’s Network bursary are now open.
The inaugural recipient of the bursary was Windera woman Carissa Beddows who used the money to gain more experience in her chosen career of nursing.
“I was still at uni studying nursing at the time,” Carissa said.
“I had this incredible chance to go to Vietnam on a placement through my university. It was an amazing opportunity to expand my skills and immerse myself in a completely different healthcare system, but I needed extra funding to make it happen.”
The bursary not only provided the financial boost Carissa needed to make her Vietnam placement a reality but also inspired her to continue her journey of personal growth.
She then secured a spot in the Red Earth’s Community Leadership program.
The bursary aims to help women access training or personal development opportunities, empowering them to take the next step in their professional journeys.
More information will be available soon on the QRRRWN website.
