Testimonials
Achieve your best
Lavena Wills - 2020 (formerly) Herston Lions Club Centennial Indigenous Tertiary Scholarship recipientI am in my first year of tertiary education studying a Bachelor of Clinical Exercise Physiology. I was honoured to be the 2020 recipient of the Herston Lions Scholarship. Being a full-time student while working, the scholarship helped to alleviate some of the financial strain. The scholarship takes away some of the financial burden of paying university fees and bills and other financial matters. Therefore, helping with my academic success as I had more time to focus on my studies. I am extremely thankful that I was selected and had some of the pressure taken off to focus on my academic results.
