Geoff Quick Paramedicine Scholarship

When Carol Quick’s husband Geoff suffered a massive cardiac arrest, she was met with paramedics, regrettably, due to the severity, there was nothing they could do for him. What struck Carol at the time - even in her dazed state - was how calm and efficient the responding paramedics were. They explained to her the necessary next steps and assisted her in contacting the police, all whilst treating Geoff with the utmost respect. At such an awful time, Carol was appreciative of the paramedic's caring attitude. Understanding that this must be a big part of a paramedic’s job - and not a good part - Carol established this scholarship to not only celebrate the wonderful legacy of her husband Geoff but to also support paramedicine students facing financial burdens in the hope it will assist a special someone to undertake what is a very, very worthwhile career.

How are applications assessed?

Applicants must read scholarship criteria carefully before applying as scholarships are awarded based on the criteria for each scholarship.

Successful applicants are selected after a series of shortlisting processes, including a review by Charles Sturt staff and donors.

From the final shortlist of strong applicants, it is up to the donor to determine the scholarship recipient(s). Sometimes this process will include donors interviewing the strongest candidates.

Most scholarships valued at $5000 or less are paid in full, unless otherwise specified. Check the scholarship webpage for payment details.

Ongoing scholarship payments are subject to you maintaining satisfactory academic progress and continued enrolment in your course. If these conditions are not met, scholarships may be suspended or terminated.
