ANZ scholarship targets Indigenous students (23/07/2007)
ANZ and Southern Cross University have joined forces to provide increased opportunities for Indigenous students through a new $15,000 scholarship.
The ANZ Indigenous Undergraduate Scholarship will be available in 2008 to an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander student enrolling in any three-year full-time degree at the Lismore, Coffs Harbour or Tweed Gold Coast campuses. Applicants may be school leavers or mature-age students.
Professor Bill MacGillivray, Southern Cross University Deputy Vice-Chancellor, welcomed the contribution from ANZ.
“Southern Cross University is committed to improving education pathways for Indigenous students. This significant contribution from ANZ will provide much-needed financial support and help open up new educational opportunities,” Professor MacGillivray said.
In July 2006, ANZ released a Statement of Commitment to Reconciliation, and subsequently, in April 2007, the Chief Executive Officer Mr John McFarlane released the ANZ Reconciliation Action Plan.
Mr Leigh Sellers, the Regional Manager for ANZ’s NSW North Coast Regional, Rural and Small Business Banking division, has played a key role in implementing that plan.
“I am extremely grateful to be able to support the ANZ Indigenous Scholarship,” Mr Sellers said. “Helping to improve the social and economic wellbeing of Indigenous Australians is a key part of ANZ's overall social responsibility and I believe that the ANZ Indigenous Scholarship is a significant milestone towards this.
“Our recent alliance with Southern Cross University has allowed us to develop a regionally based graduate program which provides graduates the opportunity to forge a career with ANZ.
“The contribution graduates make to ANZ is enormous, and I am 100 per cent dedicated to supporting higher education within our local region.”
Norco Third Year Accounting Scholarship
Norco Co-operative Limited will also be offering a new Third Year Accounting Scholarship from 2008. The $5000 scholarship will be available to a second year Bachelor of Business student majoring in Accounting and will be awarded prior to the commencement of their third year of studies. Applicants need to be studying full-time on campus at Coffs Harbour, Lismore or Tweed Gold Coast campuses.
Information about all Southern Cross University scholarships is available at the website www.scu.edu.au/scholarships.
