Big scholarship for students
YEAR 12 students at Atherton State High School can now apply for a $10,000 scholarship, thanks to Fresh St Market IGA.
Now in its fifth consecutive year, the scholarship is open to Atherton High students who are heading straight to university after they finish their final year of high school.
The student who wins the scholarship will receive a staggering $10,000 over a three-year period to help with all the costs that come with studying at university.
Past students who won the scholarship went on to study dentistry, midwifery, agribusiness and veterinary science.
Fresh St Market IGA is the sole donor contributing to the scholarship.
“The P&C are exceptionally grateful for the support shown to our school community with the significant investment being made towards our young people’s future,” Atherton High P&C treasurer Nicole Keevers said.
Students who are looking to take on further study after high school can apply for the scholarship through the school website. Applications for the scholarship close 20 November and the winner will be announced in January 2025.
