Nola Charlesworth Bursary

In 2025, UniSQ will offer one Nola Charlesworth Bursary to support a graduate of Clifton State High School commencing their studies in a bachelor's degree program.

The Nola Charlesworth Bursary was made possible through the contribution of Nola Charlesworth and her children. Nola was a long time Deputy Principal at Clifton State High School, who had a passion for assisting children with learning difficulties. This bursary was inspired by her desire to see local Clifton children realise their potential in a University setting. Nola bequeathed money in her will to create a bursary for Clifton State High School students who enrol at UniSQ. Her children also have contributed additional funds, inspired by their mother’s generosity and mutual desire to see Clifton State High School students succeed.

Value

The bursary will have a maximum value of $1000 to be paid in one instalment.
