APPLICATIONS are now open for the Rotary Club of Nelson Bay’s Centenary Scholarship, which assists tertiary students from the Tomaree Peninsula.
This scholarship provides financial support to students commencing or completing existing studies.
“This could include certificate, diploma or degree courses including postgraduate study or any additional courses which will enhance their qualifications in their existing vocation,” said Richard Turner from the Rotary Club’s Scholarship Committee.
“Applicants will be required to demonstrate both the need for additional funding along with how these studies will benefit the Tomaree Peninsula community.”
The scholarship was launched in 2005, Rotary International’s centennial year.
“Rotary International encouraged the then 30,000 odd Rotary Clubs throughout the world to instigate something meaningful and of ongoing value to their community to celebrate Rotary’s centenary,” said Richard.
“The RCNB chose to award two scholarships a year to residents of the Tomaree Peninsular so as to assist applicants in various fields of study which include research, academic, cultural or scientific undertakings including those wishing to further their existing qualifications in their chosen field, as has been the case with several recipients of the scholarship.”
Scholarship guidelines and application forms are available by emailing ian@thebrigdens.com.au.
Scholarship Trustees will determine the outcome of applications.
