I hope to make a difference in this world, as action is needed now more than ever. The Hansen Scholarship means that a whole world of opportunities have been opened up for me; opportunities that a kid from the West Coast of Tasmania can often only dream of. This scholarship will provide that and more, alongside a community of like-minded people.
