How it has helped previous Smile Scholarship Winners:

“I have enrolled for the Sydney Dance Company Winter Workshop for extra dance tuition to improve my dancing. Thank you for the opportunity the Smile Scholarship has given me.”

“I would like to extend my gratitude to the Smile Scholarship for enabling me to attend a week’s tuition and accommodation at NIDA, where I learnt a great deal about acting and now I am at University studying what I love.”

“I am extremely proud to have been selected for a Smile Scholarship and to have the opportunity to improve my musical knowledge. I will be forever grateful.”
