Nationals announce scholarship for young leaders 2008
The Nationals Member for Benalla, Bill Sykes today announced that The Nationals Scholarship program For Young Leaders will run again in 2008. The scholarship will financially assist students from rural and regional Victoria in the first year of their chosen tertiary course.
The total value of the Scholarship is $15,000 over three years which may be shared amongst one or more successful applicants.
“The scholarship has been a great success over the past two years. One of the winners from last year was Brendan Lawley from Benalla. Brendan has this year studied Media & Communications at the University of Melbourne and hopes to attain employment in regional Victoria.”
“The Nationals Scholarship offers students a great opportunity to gain financial assistance with their studies and helps reinforce the need to attract promising young leaders to continue to reside and work in country Victoria.”
The selection criteria for The Nationals Scholarship includes the applicant’s academic record, leadership qualities and community involvement. It is intended that The Nationals Scholarship be awarded to students who are intending to return to or remain in the country after their course and demonstrate a career commitment that will ultimately benefit rural/regional Victoria. Special consideration may be given to students in hardship situations for whom the scholarship will provide major assistance.
Dr Sykes concluded, “In previous years the response from students around country Victoria has been overwhelming and of a high calibre and I strongly encourage interested students to submit an application.
The application process will open on 1 January 2008 and close on 25 February 2008. Forms can be downloaded from The Nationals website: www.vic.nationals.org.au
