Vision Australia Further Education Bursary Awards, Melbourne
Anna Briggs has just embarked on her final year of an Animal Science degree at Melbourne University, which has become more manageable since she received a Further Education Bursary Award.
The 21-year-old student from Ringwood, Victoria, has been a Vision Australia client since infancy as the result of a condition known as coloboma. As a child, Anna received orientation and mobility training, as well as school support. In adulthood, she has used Vision Australia's employment services. The bursary paid for Anna's CCTV and laptop.
'Although the course has a lot of practical components, everyone I know was really encouraging when I chose to do it,' Anna says.
