Maris King Scholarship

Supporting young girls and women in their educational journey.

Soroptimist International of Bayside recently awarded the 2023 Scholarship to Nicci Wolski.   The scholarship honours Maris King MBE, an eminent Soroptimist and past member of our club. Maris had a distinguished and ice-breaking career in the Australian Diplomatic Service and was the first woman to serve as an Australian High Commissioner.

 

Nicci is an inspiring indigenous woman who involved herself in all activities at her high school during her last year of study. She strove to inspire other indigenous girls to participate fully in education and all cultural activities offered. Nicci is now supporting herself as she has progressed into University education. 

Soroptimist International congratulates this incredible woman for her  dedication to her studies and her belief in using her skills to help others.
