I chose this course because it offers a broad and diverse curriculum, along with a unique major that I hadn’t seen offered elsewhere. I am deeply interested in the innovative, fast-paced, dynamic and rapidly evolving world of media, particularly the social media sector, and aspire to build a career in this field.

Receiving this scholarship would significantly impact my university journey, as being a professional athlete leaves me with limited time for anything outside of my training schedule. As Paralympians, we do not yet receive equal pay compared to our Olympian counterparts, which often creates financial challenges when balancing full-time training and study. This financial assistance would not only alleviate the financial strain and stress of supporting my education but also provide me with renewed confidence and hope. It shows that there is recognition and support for para-athletes, and it means a great deal to know that our efforts are being acknowledged.
