The North Queensland Sports Foundation (NQSF) is proud to celebrate the graduation of Madeleine Prizeman, who recently completed her Bachelor of Science (Criminology and Psychology) at CQUniversity. As one of the talented recipients of the NQSF High Performance Sports Scholarship, Madeleine’s achievement is a testament to the power of supporting young athletes in their academic and sporting pursuits.
The NQSF High Performance Sports Scholarship Program was established to help North Queensland’s emerging elite athletes pursue their sporting careers while furthering their education in regional Queensland. With the necessary infrastructure, training facilities, and financial assistance, this scholarship ensures athletes can stay in North Queensland and continue their journey toward national and international success.
A Unique Scholarship Program for Regional Athletes
In the most recent round of scholarships, 42 applications were received, with three scholarships awarded across seven regions. The program is designed to retain talented young athletes in North Queensland by providing access to higher education and high-performance sporting opportunities, ensuring they don’t have to relocate to metropolitan areas to achieve their goals.
Grants and Foundations Officer at CQUniversity, Rob Fabiny, expressed his gratitude for the support that made Madeleine’s success possible:
“Your support has made a significant impact, enabling Madeleine to achieve this important milestone. We are deeply grateful for your contribution and commitment to our students’ success. Thank you for making this possible.”
Investing in the Future of North Queensland Sport
The next generation of national and international athletes are already entrenched within North Queensland’s strong sporting communities. By providing vital financial assistance and academic opportunities, the NQSF High Performance Sports Scholarship Program ensures that young sportspeople can continue their education while competing at the highest level.
Through programs like these, the NQSF remains dedicated to fostering sporting excellence and academic achievement, giving North Queensland athletes the platform they need to reach their full potential—both on and off the field.
Congratulations to Madeleine Prizeman on this outstanding achievement!
