Miss James said the funds she won through the Max Tremain Scholarship (which is funded by the Nyngan Ag Expo) allowed her to have great financial security and allowed her to live away from home.
She encourages Nyngan locals to apply for the Country Education Foundation (CEF) Scholarships to help through their further study.
“The funds that the CEF provided enabled me to put money towards my accommodation and the cost of textbooks,” she said.
The graduate said she had a great time studying on campus.
Miss James has secured a job at St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School in Cobar for 2017.
