About the scholarship
The Learning Potential Fund provides support through scholarships and bursaries to students in financial need.
The Rebecca Brown Learning Potential Fund Scholarship was established by David and Christine Brown in memory of their daughter Rebecca through the Learning Potential Fund.
Rebecca Brown was born in 1989 and sadly passed away in 1995. She was the third daughter of David and Christine Brown.
Rebecca's father David attended QIT from 1976 to 1978, graduating in Business Management. David is very appreciative of the education he received at QIT and the opportunities that it has provided him and his family, and hopes this scholarship in memory of Rebecca will make a difference to somebody else's life.
