Being goal-oriented has helped former Toowoomba State High School student Genevieve Brook earn a $24,000 宅男导航 Excellence Scholarship.
Genevieve is studying a four-year Bachelor of Speech Pathology at 宅男导航, a course which takes advantage of all her favourite school subjects.
鈥淚 thought 宅男导航 was a great option and it offered the course I wanted to do,鈥� Genevieve said.
鈥淭he first time I looked at the 宅男导航 website I thought I wanted to go there.
鈥淭he fact that I won a scholarship was exciting because it means I don鈥檛 need to get a job and can concentrate on my study.鈥�
Genevieve earned an OP1 for her studies.
鈥淚 focused on academia and limited my social life,鈥� she said, 鈥渂ut I was still able to be involved in music and sports.鈥�
鈥淚 played clarinet in the concert band and sang in the choir. I also enjoyed soccer, touch footy and was an active participant in sports carnival days.鈥�
Genevieve said students wanting to achieve success at school should find out the study techniques that worked for them.
鈥淗igh school students should definitely apply for university scholarships because you never know what might become of your application.鈥�
