College graduate of 2018, Claudia Nothdurft has just received the exciting news that she has been awarded The George Alexander Foundation Scholarship to attend Griffith University where she has been accepted to study Criminology and Criminal Justice this year.

To apply for the scholarship, Claudia had to have received an OP of between 1 and 10 and having received a 6, this meant she was eligible to begin the application process. In her application, Claudia provided five referees along with an essay addressing the criteria of her achievements and personal background. In Claudia's time at the College, her achievements in academia as well as sport and extra activities such as the McGrath Foundation fundraising were outstanding and we are very proud to learn that she has been successful with her application.

The George Alexander Foundation Scholarship provides up to $22,500 over three years which can be put towards accommodation and living expenses for students. This funding will help Claudia reach her full potential with her studies without the worry of paying for living expenses and accommodation.

Claudia was very excited to hear she was successful and is pleased and relieved that the scholarship will mean she won't have to struggle to pay for all the expense of living away from home while she is concentrating on her Uni degree.

Over the break, Claudia has been working at WDRC in the Occupational Development Department and is looking forward to working there in the holidays when she is home. We were lucky to have Claudia drop in to the Junior Swimming Carnival today along with fellow graduates Georgia Ryan and Jaylee Alexander and this provided a great opportunity to congratulate her on her sucess. 

Unis starts on the 18 February for Claudia so we wish her well with her studies and the big move to University life in Brisbane.

Well done Claudia!
