What is the most important part of the Tuckwell Scholarship Program to you?
“It’s a powerful program. I mean, you’re obviously supported financially, which allows you to sort of extend yourself. But then, there’s also the fact that you’re at the ANU, which is a highly reputable University.”
“With incredibly qualified professionals teaching you in these courses that are really going to extend your horizons but also pour their passion into you, so you can find out what you’re interested in.”
