A former Murgon State High School student has received a $20,000 boost from the University of the Sunshine Coast.<\/p>\n

Briana Litzow, 17, was recently presented with a prestigious Tim Fairfax Regional Scholarship, an award established to support high-achieving students who have moved from regional or remote areas to go to university.<\/p>\n

Briana, who gained an OP5 at Murgon SHS last year, has started studying a Bachelor of Sport and Exercise Science at USC\u2019s Sippy Downs campus.<\/p>\n

She said the scholarship was a welcome surprise and would assist her in pursuing a career in strength and conditioning coaching.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had planned to travel back to Murgon on weekends to work at my part-time job, but I won\u2019t have to do that now,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt means I\u2019ll be able to focus much more on my studies. I\u2019m really grateful for that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Briana topped her class in chemistry and hospitality at high school and held the role of senior leader, which involved mentoring younger students.<\/p>\n

She said her long-term passion for sports including gymnastics and netball, and her interest in biology had led to her enrolling in the Sport and Exercise Science degree.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not 100 per cent sure which area of the industry I want to end up in but strength and conditioning is one field I\u2019m really drawn to,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI chose USC because a few of my friends who were students here already told me the teaching was fantastic and the beach life was pretty good too.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been easy to get to know people because of the small class sizes, and our lessons have been really hands-on and interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
