Kokoda scholarship opportunity
Mr Cameron said, "The Marsh/Tierney Scholarship, worth $6300, provides our younger generation with an insight into the Gippsland connection to the Kokoda Trail, and the sacrifices made by men from this area."
"The successful applicant will be assisted with training and chaperoned on the trek. In addition to the scholarship, there will be around an $600-800 commitment required from participants for items like hiking boots, some incidentals and medical expenses. Details of the trek and information on the application process can be obtained from my office, and I encourage any Year 11 students interested to think about applying for this amazing opportunity," he said.
The application process involves a questionnaire and short essay, and those short-listed will also be required to attend a short in-person interview with current or ex-service personnel.
