The AIS Education Scholarship has imparted a sense of security going forward with my academic career. As the burden of financial pressure grows throughout my studies, the scholarship has provided a sense of balance between my sporting and academic pursuits where I feel I am able to commit myself fully to both endeavours.

The challenges of combining sport and education are nothing new to elite athletes; however, the AIS Education Scholarship is important to me as it supports my academic and sporting aspirations by providing financial assistance during a period where a combination of academia and sport has been encompassing my life.
