Scholarship Details

 Provider Name:  University of Southern Queensland

 Scholarship Name:  Rachael Fontana Memorial Bursary for the Arts

 Description:  The bursary is in memory of Rachael Lee Fontana. Rachael attended USQ in 2004 where she lived on-campus at Steele Rudd College and studied Visual Arts. From early childhood, Rachael’s ambition was to become a cartoonist/artist. Although she did not complete her degree, her enthusiasm and dedication to art assured that her dream was becoming a reality. Unfortunately, her ambition was destroyed by a tragic accident which claimed her and her unborn child in 2009. She was well-respected for her generosity and benevolence towards the underprivileged. The bursary reflects Rachael’s passion for art and her compassion to help others.
