A little while back I posted about this scholarship to support students with disability who are undertaking a degree at Flinders and want to work in a community focused career. I got notified that the submission date has been extended because of an error in communication.
I first posted about this opportunity on the 28th. At that stage the closing date was the 8th March.
The submission date for applications has been extended to the 21st March due to an error in publication.
