The 2012 C.A.S. Hawker Scholarship opens on Monday 5th December and closes on Friday 6th January 2012.
The C.A.S. Hawker Scholarship is one of the most generous privately funded scholarships available to undergraduate students in Australia. Each scholarship is valued at up to $60,000 over four years.
Information about the C.A.S. Hawker Scholarship and an application form are available at www.hawkerscholarship.org or by contacting the secretary to the Trustees on 08 8127 1654.
The Charles Hawker Scholarship perpetuates the memory of scholar, soldier, pastoralist and statesman Charles Allan Seymour Hawker and commemorates the achievements of one of Australia’s most respected pastoral pioneers.
In 2010, seven scholarships were awarded. This year the Trustees awarded four scholarships to students from three states and the ACT. Governor-General Ms Quentin Bryce AC presented the students with their scholarships at a function at Government House in Canberra.
The scholarships are available to all Australian students. Since 1991 the majority have been awarded to students entering their first year of university study.
Selection is largely based on personal qualities as well as academic ability.
Undergraduate Hawker Scholars are able to attend a range of Australian educational institutions.
