2018 The Suzanne Payne Scholarship for Health and Medicine, in Honour of her son Michael
Community/Equity
Suzanne Payne is a Health Manager in ISLHD. Suzanne recognised the enormous financial burden for single parents who wish to study at a University level.
The purpose of this scholarship is to provide some assistance to single parent families who wish to study either in Health or Medicine at the University of Wollongong.
It is Suzanne's hope that one day graduates from University's around Australia are able to give a helping hand to future students so they too can enjoy the personal empowerment that comes with a University education.
