Winner of 2020 District 23 Jane M Klausman Women in Business Scholarship
Marina Sarkoski with District 23 Governor Sandra Burns at the Founders' Day Lunch in November 2020.

The 2020 District 23 winner of the Jane M Klausman Women in Business scholarship is Marina Sarkoski. To receive this prestigious award and the substantial prize of US$2,000, Marina needed to demonstrate outstanding potential in the field. Marina is one of 32 students from across the Zonta districts worldwide to receive a scholarship.
Marina is just the kind of student that the Jane M Klausman Women in Business Scholarship represents. She is currently studying the Masters of Business Administration at Edith Cowan University, Western Australia. Clearly an exceptional student, Marina has also won the ECU Business and Law Excellence Scholarship, which is awarded to those who show excellence in their field and commitment to their studies.
However, Marina is more than just a Higher Distinction student. She also volunteers and contributes time to mentoring other students. She was the president of the ECU Women in Business student group, and works tirelessly to help young women reach their potential through meaningful career direction and professional network development.
Marina’s achievements are particularly notable. She migrated to Australia from Macedonia with a Bachelor of Law and found transferring her knowledge and experience challenging in a new country. Undaunted, she enrolled in postgraduate studies and combines this with working full time for the Western Australian Government and being mother to two young boys.
