Chemical engineering stood out as my major of choice because of its role in designing sustainable materials, reducing industrial waste, and developing cleaner energy solutions. With growing global challenges such as climate change and resource depletion, I want to contribute to engineering solutions that minimise environmental impact while supporting industrial and societal needs.
As I have been since graduating high school in 2023 fully self-funded and must cover tuition, accommodation, and living expenses in Brisbane. Coming from the Toowoomba, relocation is essential due to the long commute for not only university but training that is also four days a week. Receiving financial assistance would provide some stability, allowing me to focus on excelling academically and gaining hands-on experience in chemical and environmental engineering. It would enable me to fully engage in research projects, internships, and professional development opportunities without the constant worry of financial constraints.
