An additional initiative which commenced this year was the donation of a $1000 scholarship to a STEPS student with the highest GPA who planned to continue their studies at CQUniversity Mackay.  This award was shared by Maria Morakutti and Andrew McClurg at an awards ceremony on June 9.  In 2012 an additional $1000 scholarship will be awarded to a first year student with the highest GPA enrolled in the Bachelor of Medical Imaging course at the Mackay campus.

Money raised at the monthly 'Film and Arts Night' in Mackay has supported these initiatives and contributed to the purchase of three laptops this year - two for students' use and one for the Lilbrary Circulation Desk.
