“Jacqui joins an enviable list of Alumni to have received the award including inaugural recipient Palas Jewelry’s Anna Dimond and most recently 40 under 40 Award recipient Marie Sulda of Kaleidoscopic Travel”, Ms Walford, said.

“The BCD Entrepreneurs scholarship is undoubtedly one of our most successful initiatives, records show scholarship recipients gain enhanced personal and professional skills that contribute to the increased success and sustainability of their business.”

Jacqui Dunn is no stranger to the entrepreneurial world, she started her first business in 2009, co-founded a business in 2012 which she exited in 2014, and now is focusing on her latest venture The Travelling Stylist.

In application for the Scholarship Ms Dunn said, “There is no better feeling than being in an environment surrounded by strong, supportive professional women.”

As Scholarship recipient Ms Dunn will receive a 12-month fully funded BCD Entrepreneurs membership valued at more than $5,500. Members are placed into a cohort of fellow female business owners/entrepreneurs to meet for three hours, ten times a year, with a highly accomplished Facilitator and Program Director.
