RSL (Qld Branch) State President
Mr Doug Formby

“As well as offering an outstanding educational opportunity, we hope these grants will promote awareness among the youth of Australia of the sacrifices and the ANZAC values our war veterans strived to defend - of courage, mateship, determination, humour and ingenuity.”

 

Vice-Chancellor of Bond University Professor Robert Stable

“Through partnering with the RSL to launch this program, we hope to educate young Australians about the sacrifices of our nation’s servicemen, while rewarding some of Queensland’s highest achieving students with the financial assistance and support they need to bring their ambitions to life.”
