Madeline May Wicks
Faculty of Law Robert French Equity Scholarship
I live in a single-mum household, and a scholarship has assisted me in relieving some of the financial pressures of study. Further, as a result of my scholarship, I have been able to purchase a new computer to assist in my studies. This improved my capacity to focus on my studies and achieve my academic goals. Law has been a dream of mine for a long time, and I am grateful to be able to enjoy the journey of Law School.
