J Tresidder Sub-Fund

Established to support young people across the Limestone Coast to access education and opportunity, regardless of their postcode or circumstances. Open to all levels of study for those aged 24 and under.
Jess Tresidder knows firsthand the impact a scholarship can have. As a former recipient of two Stand Like Stone Foundation scholarships, she was able to pursue university study, gain valuable life experiences and build the confidence to follow her ambitions.
Inspired by the opportunities she received, Jess established this fund to help other young people across the Limestone Coast overcome barriers to education and training. Her goal is to ensure that access to opportunity is not limited by postcode or personal circumstances, empowering the next generation to pursue their goals and reach their full potential.
Today, Jess's generosity is helping create opportunities for young people aged 24 and under, supporting all levels of study and learning.
