Gingin resident, Haylee’s academic dreams will become a reality, thanks to one of Australia’s leading scholarship programs. The Gingin Community Bank® Branch and Lancelin branch Scholarship is awarded to first-time tertiary students whose financial circumstances might mean that a university degree is out of their reach.
Ms Slater said she was thrilled to be able to start university with the financial security a scholarship provided.
“I can’t wait to get start
ed and work towards my goal of completing a degree in Commerce, majoring in accounting and business law. My end goal is then to become a Forensic Accountant and work for the Australian Federal Police,” she said.
Chairman of Gingin Community Bank® Branch and Lancelin branch, Stephen Beckwith said he was thrilled to offer Haylee the chance to further her education.
“I would hate to think that a local young person like Haylee would be unable to start a higher education because of the financial costs. “Young people in a number of communities across Australia, including ours, will have the chance to become doctors, occupational therapists, IT professionals, dentists, engineers and scientists, so its impact will be valuable for many people.
“This is another way that our Community Bank ® Company commits to building stronger communities. ‘’Haylee is very deserving of a scholarship and I wish her all the best of luck as she begins an exciting journey toward achieving her career goals,’’ he said.
The Gingin Community Bank® Scholarship is part of the Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Scholarship Program, with more than 40 Community Bank® branches and other partners taking part from across Australia.
