"This scholarship has been an incredible help. As the Paris Olympics drew closer, the pressure was on to ensure I was on top form. The scholarship helps me afford essential training equipment, higher quality food to fuel my body and travel expenses for university and training. It allows me the privilege of not needing a part-time job, which means I have extra time to study.
I am working hard to ensure I am performing to my full potential and this scholarship has facilitated this immeasurably. I am so grateful for this support, without which I wouldn’t have been able to achieve my sporting or academic goals to the same capacity."
