What is the awards program? |
| The Seize the Day Study Awards are financial awards to provide assistance for post-secondary-school education costs, such as student fees, textbooks and stationery. The grants are designed to support young Queenslanders who have had a personal experience with cancer - either themselves or with an immediate family member. You can view our 2008 brochure (PDF 499Kb) and poster (PDF 65Kb) online. |
