Foundation student, Bethany Conroy who graduated St Benedict’s College in 2017 in our very first Year 12 cohort, has been successful in securing a QUT Vice-Chancellor’s Scholarship, valued at $30,000.  

The Scholarship program is QUT’s premier offering for students with outstanding academic achievement.  In addition to financial support, the program helps recipients to make the most of their university experience through extra development opportunities, which build leadership skills and professional networks.  

Bethany is undertaking a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) at Queensland University of Technology and we wish her well as she embarks on her chosen course of study. 

Comments from Bethany on 19 March 2018:

This year I was honoured to receive a scholarship to study Engineering with Honours at Queensland University of Technology, Gardens Point Campus. This is a four year degree and accepts students who demonstrate outstanding achievements in years 11 and 12 in maths and science. I was selected to be part of the 2018 Vice Chancellor scholarship team which comprises of 120 students who studied in Year 12 last year and received excellent academic results. I feel very privileged to be part of this elite group of QUT students who not only receive financial support but exclusive opportunities for networking, support, camps, exchanges and career development.

Being the first graduating class from St Benedict’s College in 2018 provided wonderful opportunities to work closely as part of a small group of Year 12 students and access support and mentoring from the exceptional staff. I would like to thank in particular my Maths, English and Science teachers who include Mrs Connor, Mr Carlill and Ms Guthrie who generously supported me with their time, expertise and professional guidance. 

Many teachers and school leaders including Mrs Dempster, encouraged and supported me in applying for many scholarships. I am very grateful to the staff of St Benedict’s College, my parents and peers in supporting my academic endeavours.
