Students get buzz from electricity bursaries 

Three of our students from the James Goldston Faculty of Engineering and Physical Systems have been awarded a bursary by the Queensland Electricity Transmission and Distribution group.

PhotoID:2395 The bursaries recognise their scholastic achievements and their commitment to complete their studies concentrating on the energy sector.

In all, eight bursaries have been awarded, three for CQU, three for QUT and two for UQ.

CQU winners Robert Sutherland, Jodie O’Donohoe and Nathaniel Dunnett are looking forward to the industry exposure that each of them will receive as part of their award, anticipating that this will kick start their career upon graduation.
