For the past 20 years Zonta Club of the Whitsundays have offered a substantial annual scholarship to one lucky student from one of the local high-schools.
This year the generous scholarship has been named the PJ Halter scholarship in memory of the club’s beloved and very hardworking member who sadly passed in 2022.
The scholarship embodies the club's commitment to supporting women who, due to various life circumstances, may not have had the chance for further education earlier in their lives.
The PJ Halter Scholarship is designed to provide financial assistance and educational opportunities to women in the community, empowering them to pursue their academic and professional goals.
The scholarship will be provided to a deserving student who, because of limited financial means or distance, would otherwise struggle to access the course of their choice.
In addition to the PJ Halter Scholarship, Zonta is introducing the Senior Bursary which is designed to support women who may have missed educational opportunities earlier in life. Zonta Whitsundays has established this scholarship to empower a woman in our community with the chance for further education and personal growth.
Alongside the scholarships, Zonta is also providing bursaries to Proserpine State High School, St Catherine’s Catholic College, and Cannonvale State Primary School. These bursaries are chosen by the school and presented at graduation evening each year.
