Chelsea Phillips'This scholarship allowed me to focus and fully invest in my honours year, and provided me with a mentor whose guidance and strategies for my future career have been invaluable. My career goals now versus when I started my degree are completely different, but I am so grateful that they are, and that's thanks to QUT.'
