The Gregory and Dolores Farrell Scholarship
Four scholarships for students who use a wheelchair for mobility and who are undertaking either full time or part time tertiary education in New South Wales are available for 2012. The scholarships, up to the value of $5,000.00 each, are available for eligible students in Year 12 (if applications have been lodged for entrance to a University in 2012) or students already undertaking an undergraduate course. Students who are proceeding to a higher degree are also eligible, as are students who have been accepted for post-graduate study in Australia and overseas.
