Testimonials

Empowered by Madison Group

'Through the process of applying for this scholarship, interviewing for the program and becoming a Madison Group scholar both the QUT Engineering Engagement Staff and all Madison Group contacts I have met were hugely supportive and I feel there is a genuine interest in my success. To be able to focus on my studies, industry interests and wellbeing without stresses of financial insecurity has brought a peace of mind I didn’t think would be achieved during my time at university. I am now enjoying my penultimate year of engineering studies and look forward to exploring where my professional development takes me.'
