A former child soldier from Burundi who is studying International Business at RMIT University has received Multicultural Arts Victoria’s (MAV) first ever Arts and Cultural Development Scholarship for Refugee Youth.
The scholarship, made possible by a $350 000 bequest in 2013 from the estate of Beverley Shelton (nee Hart) and her late husband, Martin Schönthal, will allow Diodone ‘Fablice’ Manirakiza from hip-hop group FlyBz to receive mentoring and on-the-job training by MAV’s team of industry professionals.
