Crystal Sky Schubert
Brian M Davis Industrial Design Scholarship
Having grown up in a financially disadvantaged background as the career for my mother with an intellectual disability, there were many times growing up where my life stresses were so overwhelming that even though I had big aspirations to work in the art field one day, that it may not be possible for someone in my position. However, throughout my degree at Monash, thanks to their scholarship support, I was able to support myself and be the first in my family to undergo tertiary education. Being awarded both disadvantaged and academic achievement scholarships during my time at Monash gave me faith that people from positions like mine can succeed and achieve their dreams.
