The Layne Beachley Foundation – Aim For The Stars Scholarship

Only four weeks to go! The Layne Beachley Foundation – Aim For The Stars Scholarship applications are closing on 13 November 2015.

The Foundation offers scholarships nationally to girls and women striving to fulfil their potential in a chosen field of pursuit, whilst becoming a beacon in their community for motivation and inspiration.

Since its inception in 2003, The Layne Beachley Foundation has proudly granted over 400 scholarships across a broad range of pursuits – including leadership and business, sport, culture and community development, science and technology, the arts and environment and sustainability.

The Foundation's main focus is to inspire and motivate women across Australia to dare to dream, pursue their passion and aspire to achieve. It supports women with initiative and dedication that are committed and courageous enough to ask for assistance along the way.

'I started Aim For The Stars just after I won my sixth consecutive World Title" said Layne. 'It was then that I had the opportunity to reflect on what I had endured to get there and the role certain individuals around me played in ensuring I achieved my goals. I decided then and there that I wanted to become one of those individuals in young female's lives whenever I can".

She adds, 'The financial support we provide gives ambitious women a chance to come up for air, take a deep breath and focus on where they are trying to get to. It takes the pressure off worrying about money". 

The grants range from $4,000 for Individuals and $6,000 for groups or teams. Applications can be made online at www.aimforthestars.com.au.
