Last night at their Annual General Meeting, the Stanford Australia Foundation awarded their 2014 Scholarship to Jono Nicholas, CEO of ReachOut.com by Inspire Foundation.

.

Covering course fees and travel to attend a Stanford Graduate School of Business Executive Program in 2014, the award is given each year to an Australian not-for profit leader. In addition to the benefits for the individual, the selection criteria also includes the extent to which this scholarship will benefit the Australian community more broadly, something Jono Nicholas is very aware of.

.

"It's a great privilege to be awarded this scholarship from the Stanford Australia Foundation" Jono says. "I'm most excited about the benefits that the award can bring to the work we do at ReachOut.com, Australia's leading online youth mental health service".

.

"Mental illness is the biggest challenge facing young people in our country" Jono continues. "The opportunity I've been given to learn from one of the world's leading research and teaching institutions is recognition of the importance of that challenge".
