2019 Shellharbour City Council Community Scholarship for UOW student

The recipient of the inaugural 2019 Shellharbour City Council Community Scholarship will be announced at the Civic Centre on Monday 6 May at 11am.

The $5000 scholarship aims to recognise and reward a University of Wollongong (UOW) student for their contribution to the local community.

Applicants must have resided in Shellharbour City for the past five years and demonstrated a significant initiative that has benefitted their community.

Shellharbour Mayor Marianne Saliba said she was proud to be announcing the recipient and was pleased that Council could help make a contribution to the student’s study costs.

“As we know, university study can be extremely costly. The recipient of this scholarship is sure to have that financial burden eased and Council is delighted to be able to offer this invaluable opportunity,” Cr Saliba said.

“The scholarship also reinforces Council’s presence as an employer of choice, and further strengthens our ties with UOW.”

Four representatives from UOW will also be in attendance at the presentation.
