Making a meaningful difference
Tahliah Bishop, 2024 scholarship recipient'Receiving this scholarship means freedom from financial strain and the ability to fully focus on my studies. It has also given me a sense of recognition and reassurance, that the time, effort and dedication I'm putting into university is valued and worthwhile. I hope to inspire other Indigenous people to see themselves in business and use my knowledge and skills I gain to give back to my community and support its growth and success.'
