Higher education students and apprentices who are planning on studying with CQUniversity Mackay in 2023 can apply for scholarships through Community Bank Sarina Bendigo Bank’s scholarship program.
There is $20,000 in scholarships available, with two $6000 higher education scholarships for undergraduate degrees and two $4000 apprenticeship scholarships.
Community Bank Sarina Board Deputy Chair Maree Franettovich said the scholarships will “financially assist students to stay in our community and close to their family, friends and support networks whilst studying their chosen career path”.
“These students will have a broad range of opportunities to study and work within our region to help build our local skilled workforce,” Ms Franettovich said.
“We always have a diverse range of applicants studying and working in different industries from higher education students in business, digital media and agriculture, to fabrication and plumbing apprentices.”
2022 higher education scholarship recipient Taya Murray said that it was while at Sarina State High School that she learned about biofuels and “found the mix of chemistry and mechanics really fascinating”.
“A career goal of mine is to work at Sarina’s ethanol plant, and this scholarship is assisting me to gain my degree and make that possible – I really appreciate the Bank’s support and confidence in me,” Taya said.
Scholarship applications close 31 March 2023.
