“Being awarded the Dylan Alcott Scholarship is an honour; he is a good role model who demonstrated that even though life wasn’t easy, he could pursue his sport and be extremely successful. It will enable me to fund my studies and sporting expenses without adding to the significant financial impact of disability on my family.” - Hayden Brown

"It’s empowering to have that [disability] recognised through the scholarship and show others that if you don’t let it limit you, you can go further than you think you’re capable of. As hard as it is, as time-consuming and painful and dehumanising, there’s always a way around it to achieve your goals.” - Aleisha Taylor
