Fahima Safa

Pauline Gandel Scholarship

This scholarship has benefitted me in so many ways with taking the first steps into my career. The financial support that it provides has really given me the confidence to enjoy and immerse myself into university. I feel so supported and so grateful for the opportunity and I believe it has drastically helped me have a good balance with my studies, work and personal life. The reduced financial stress has allowed me to dedicate time, not only to my studies but also to study overseas as well as partake in Access Monash mentoring. Through mentoring, I feel I am able to give back to my community and guide students who were in similar situations to me, to be more reassured about tertiary education. I really appreciate the connections I've made through mentoring, meeting my fellow scholarship recipients and with the scholarship donors.
