Winners announced for 2021 Jack Cranstoun Scholarships

Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Minister for Women and Minister for the Prevention of Domestic and Family Violence The Honourable Shannon Fentiman

Five bright young Queenslanders have been awarded a special Queensland Government scholarship providing mediation training valued at over $16,700.

Attorney-General and Minister for Justice Shannon Fentiman said the scholarship was a valuable opportunity for recipients to sharpen their skills in the art of mediation and dispute resolution.

"Jack was a much-loved and talented mediator with the Department of Justice and Attorney-General who sadly lost his life in 2014," Ms Fentiman said.

"Mr Cranstoun's colleagues recognised that offering these opportunities to young people in his name would be a fitting tribute for someone who was a bright and talented problem solver in his own right.

"Mediators provide an invaluable service to the community, helping people resolve their differences without the need to go to court.
