Education Boost For Sarina Youth

Sarina High School students are kicking off the year with some extra cash in their pockets thanks to Community Bank Sarina Bendigo Bank’s annual scholarship program.

Zali Hooper and Chelsea Trusz were the deserving recipients of the 2023 scholarships, which provide support to assist SSHS students with their educational costs. The scholarship program is designed to promote and encourage community engagement, building the students’ confidence and developing them into the region’s future leaders.

Community Bank Sarina Bendigo Bank also is offering CQUniversity Scholarships for those commencing study in 2023. If you’re a first year apprentice or degree student through CQUniversity this year, you are eligible to apply for the $4000 apprenticeship scholarship or a $6000 higher education scholarship. There are two scholarships available per category and they can assist with travel costs associated with studying, learning materials like textbooks, the purchase of tools or a toolbox and other related work or study expenses.

Applications are open now and close 31 March, if you're interested in applying please contact executive@sarinacommunity.com.au for the application pack.
