In a world where access to education can be a defining factor in shaping one’s future, scholarships play a pivotal role in opening doors to opportunity. Youth Opportunities has partnered with The Adam Scott Foundation who understands this well, and in 2024, we proudly awarded scholarships to two remarkable Youth Opportunities’ graduates, Laticia and Tanaya, whose stories of resilience, passion, and dedication are truly inspiring.
Laticia’s journey began with sheer excitement and gratitude when she learned she was chosen as a recipient of the Adam Scott Foundation scholarship. With determination, she’s set her sights on pursuing a degree in psychology honours, driven by her desire to understand human behaviour and advocate for young people in marginalised communities. Her vision extends beyond academia; she aspires to create positive change in the world, whether through her own support company for young people or by lending her voice to important social issues. In her own words:
Through her involvement with Youth Opportunities, she’s embraced tools like daily affirmations and kindness, shaping her into a beacon of positivity and resilience.
Tanaya’s reaction to receiving the scholarship mirrored Laticia’s; she was overwhelmed with gratitude and disbelief. For Tanaya, this scholarship is not just a financial boost but a validation of her passion for law and psychology. Her childhood experiences navigating the family court system fuelled her determination to pursue a double degree in these fields, with the goal of advocating for the rights of the vulnerable. Post-graduation, she envisions a career in a law firm specialising in children and family law, where she can make a tangible difference in the lives of others. Through her involvement with Youth Opportunities, Tanaya has learned essential skills like emotional intelligence and effective time management, setting her up for success in both academia and beyond. She credits the tools she learnt from the personal leadership program to help her achieve her goals:
The stories of Laticia and Tanaya demonstrate the transformative power of personal leadership and the importance of scholarships in fostering opportunities for deserving young people. The Adam Scott Foundation’s commitment to providing life-changing opportunities for Australian children and youth is evident in their support for Laticia and Tanaya, whose dreams and aspirations are now within reach. As Tanaya recounts:
As we celebrate the success of Laticia and Tanaya, let their stories serve as a reminder of the impact that generosity and support can have on shaping futures and creating positive change in the world. Congratulations to these deserving scholarship recipients, and may their journeys inspire many more to reach for the stars.
