Applications for a special educational bursary for older women in the South Burnett will close on November 30.<\/p>\n

The Barambah Branch of the Queensland Rural, Regional and Remote Women\u2019s Network (QRRRWN) is offering a $1000 bursary for 2020 to any woman resident in the South Burnett over the age of 30.<\/p>\n

The aim of the bursary is\u00a0to help a woman expand her skills in a broad and practical way to enhance herself, her business or her community.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very excited to hear from women in all walks of life,” QRRWN spokesperson Karen Seiler said.<\/p>\n

“We want women in established business, entrepreneurial start-ups, agriculture, community workers, in fact women across the board to apply.”<\/p>\n

The successful applicant will be announced by January 2020.<\/p>\n

QRRRWN State president\u00a0Melissa Barnett said the\u00a0Barambah Branch bursary was independent of the State organisation and the idea and funds to support it comes directly from local QRRRWN members.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe three pillars of QRRRWN are to connect, develop and inspire and I think the Barambah branch bursary does this admirably. We are very proud to be able to support women financially as well as educationally at a local level, where it really makes a difference to a community,\u201d Melissa said.<\/p>\n

The Red Earth Community Foundation will disburse the funds on behalf of QRRRWN Barambah Branch.<\/p>\n
