This year’s NCWQ bursary award ceremony was one to remember. Among the many special women being recognised for their achievements and talents, was Joelle Cullen.
Receiving the NCWQ Regional/Rural bursary, Joelle was recognised for her achievements in a number of areas.
This bursary, sponsored by NCWQ, is one of the inaugural bursaries offered since the commencement of the program in 2009. Valued at $1000.00, the focus of the bursary is to assist young women living in regional or rural Queensland, relocate from home to commence their tertiary studies.
