The New Horizons for Women Trust organizes the awards each year to support education, innovation and research that
benefits women.
The awards take the form of a $3000 grant that the recipients can spend to aid their studies.
The Second Chance awards are for women over the age of 27 years returning to education or training. The selection
process considers the level of need, personal qualities and the likelihood of success.
