July 2025 – The Jessica Bastow Perpetual Scholarship (No. 2)

Jessica (Jess) Bastow is a proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community and a successful businesswoman. She is a Cornerstone member of The Pinnacle Foundation, already generously funding 12 Olrem Pinnacle Foundation Scholarships and The Jessica Bastow Perpetual Scholarship (No. 1).

Jess has now created a second Jessica Bastow Perpetual Scholarship to help ensure that The Pinnacle Foundation’s work to educate, support and foster community for young LGBTQIA+ Australians in need continues sustainably into the future.

Jess has seen first-hand the impact of the Pinnacle program and recognises that access to an education, the wise counsel and support of a mentor, and the welcome embrace of the Pinnacle family, makes a lifetime of difference to beneficiaries – and at the same time enriches wider society. It is for these reasons that Jess has now generously bestowed The Jessica Bastow Perpetual Scholarship (No. 2).

The Jessica Bastow Perpetual Scholarship (No. 2) is awarded to eligible Western Australian scholars studying either medicine or law.
