Cessnock City Council is calling on local residents who are currently studying at TAFE or University to get their applications in for the 2020 Mayoral Scholarships before they close on Monday 2 March 2020.
There are nine scholarships up for grabs valued at $2,500 each and students can use this extra funding boost in any way they like to help them in their studies.
Ashleigh Neville, who won the $2,500 Building and Associated Trades Scholarship last year said it was a massive help towards her studies as it opened up opportunities for future study through minimising the financial pressure that comes with being a student.
“I was busy studying a Diploma of Landscape Design and Certificate IV in Property Services at the time the scholarships were advertised and I jumped at the opportunity to submit an application.”
“It was so easy to apply and I encourage anyone local who is currently studying to take the time to complete an application. The best part was being able to spend the money in whatever way helped me continue my studies.”
“I graduated last year and got a job in Real Estate, which I’m really enjoying,” added Ashleigh.
There are currently limited applications for the Building and Associated Trades Scholarship and the Hospitality and Tourism Scholarship, so students studying in these areas are strongly encouraged to apply.
To be eligible, students need to be currently enrolled at TAFE or university and be residents of the Cessnock Local Government Area (LGA). Students from the Cessnock LGA who live outside the area to study are also eligible to apply.
