Brenden Hall - Clem Jones Sporting Scholarship Holder and London 2012 Paralympian Swimmer:
"The UQ Sporting Scholarship Program not only helps me financially through my Clem Jones Sporting Scholarship but it also helps to know I have support academically as well. Having access to the pool and gym to train, reduces my travel time and makes it easier to focus on my studies and to continue my sporting success. This support was extremely important last year in the lead up to my Paralympic bid where I won two gold medals and a bronze medal."
