March 7, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

South Burnett student Alexandra Kelly is one of only two first-year University of the Sunshine Coast students to be awarded a $20,000 Tim Fairfax Regional Scholarship in 2019.<\/p>\n

Alexandra, from Tablelands, will be starting a Bachelor of Business (Tourism, Leisure and Events Management).<\/p>\n

The Fairfax family spent 20 years on a cattle property in rural Queensland and established the scholarship specifically to support students from regional and remote areas who leave home to attend university.<\/p>\n

Alexandra, 18, said her family cried when they received the news of the scholarship.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were just so proud and so excited,\u201d she said. \u201cBeing offered a place at USC to study my first preference was a big accomplishment for me but getting the Tim Fairfax scholarship was really something very special for us all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alexandra, who graduated from St Mary\u2019s Catholic College with an OP6 last year, said she was particularly interested in studying events management.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d love to become an event manager specifically for business and corporate events and I feel that this degree offers me the very best of both worlds,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a very organised person and I love working in challenging environments, so I\u2019m confident I\u2019ve chosen the right career path.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the reasons I chose USC to study at is the opportunities the location will make possible. The Sunshine Coast is a tourism and events destination, so I hope to be able to do work experience while I\u2019m studying to keep me on my toes.\u201d<\/p>\n

USC awards two Tim Fairfax Scholarships to first-year undergraduate students every year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
