Scholarship Winners

SuniTAFE has formed a community partnership with a range of organisations to offer students exciting education scholarships.  They are provided to ensure that the absence of money or support will not stand in the way of a student achieving their potential.  This year the United Memorial and Merbein Lodge has provided scholarships for trades and visual arts.  The scholarship is awarded to a student who has maintained constant effort in their study to overcome inhibiting factors such as (but not limited to) finances, family and health.
