Queensland Women’s Historical Association’s Janelle Byrne is the driving force behind the dress coming to Australia. Money raised from ticket sales and half of the money raised from raffles will support this project.
The NCWQ Bursary Program empowers women by assisting them to achieve independence through education. NCWQ coordinates the program through Team Bursary, under the Leadership of Kathy Cavanagh AM, who are all volunteers. This year’s Bursary Program of over 35 bursaries, is valued at over $50,000. Sponsorship ranges across the three levels of government, women’s organisations affiliated with NCWQ, in Memorial and private individuals. The bursaries are for Queensland female students, categories range from Year 12 to PHD Studies. Some target specific groups such as First Nation, Refugee, mature age “second chance”, disability and survivors of domestic violence as well as specific career paths such as nursing, medical and Ophthalmology while other bursaries are more open. Half of the money raised from the raffle sales will contribute to the coordination of the Bursary Program.
