Normally scholarships endowed by the Foundation are funded on an ongoing basis, and administered
by the host organisation. However the Foundation occasionally funds one-off scholarships. In
exceptional circumstances the Foundation may also support individuals directly.

Toby Innes Final year medicine
Toby plans to return to Melbourne to begin his training as an intern. He will then enter
the Basic Physicians Training Program, and hopes to begin research into understanding the body's protective
mechanism when starved with oxygen. He intends to use the human body's physiological response to hypoxia
experienced at high altitudes as the basis of his research. If successful this could potentially
revolutionise the management of acute coronary syndrome.

Macflite Training. Special Scholarship:
Macflite Training, which was based at Coolangatta Airport, provided training for
commercial pilots. In 2003 James Knagge, a young descendant of the Mununjali people,
of South East Queensland, applied to the Foundation for a scholarship to enable him to complete the
Macflite course. As there were very few indigenous pilots, the Foundation agreed to his request, as
a special case. James completed his training at the end of 2005. He is currently working as a commercial
pilot.
Unfortunately Macflite Training ceased
operating in 2009.
