Mia Braun, from Pyramid Hill in regional Victoria, received a Bendigo Bank University Scholarship for regional and rural students. She is excited to launch into her healthcare studies and intends to bring her newfound skills back to rural Victoria.
“Receiving this scholarship is a game changer for me. It allows me to fully focus on my studies and work towards becoming the best occupational therapist I can be,” Mia said. “After finishing university, I’m excited to return to rural Victoria.
