Rockhampton-based Adz Power Agencies plans to add value to its potential recruits with a new $2000 scholarship.

The scholarship is available to a CQUniversity student who displays a keen interest in developing a career in web design and who is currently enrolled in their second year or in the start of their third year of a Bachelor of Multimedia degree. Applications close on May 17.

Adz Power spokesman Noel Sorenson said that, as well as financial support, the successful recipient would gain valuable work experience with the firm.

"We are keen to ensure we have students coming through who are work-ready, client-focused and able to be productive," he said.

"Any designers or coders who are really passionate about web design are welcome to approach us about work experience, as we are keen to give young people an opportunity."

Anyone interested in establishing a new scholarship can contact CQUniversity's Donor Prize and Scholarship Coordinator  Melissa Misztal on 07 4923 2786 or m.misztal@cqu.edu.au .   Ms Misztal said donors were starting to see the significant impact that prizes and scholarships have on students and their experience at CQUniversity. She said these awards have a ‘transformative benefit', not only to students but also to the community.

"By making University more accessible and alleviating financial pressures, scholarships and prizes increase participation in higher education and therefore assist in regional development, as we are putting more skilled professionals back into our local community," Ms Misztal said.
