Stanwell Corporation announced on Thursday they will be offering a second $10,000 a year tertiary study scholarship in 2017.
The second scholarship is in addition to a scholarship in Mining / Civil Engineering the company is jointly offering in partnership with Downer Mining.
The Cid Burke Occupational Health and Safety Study Support Scholarship will offer $10,000 a year in financial support for a period of up to four years to a South Burnett resident who wants to gain formal qualifications in OH&S through a recognised tertiary institution.
The scholarship is named after Cid Burke, who was employed at the Tarong Power Station for more than 20 years and who was passionate about OH&S and community service.
In addition to funding, the scholarship will allow the recipient to receive assistance and guidance from an industry mentor, and to take up vacation employment with Stanwell when the opportunity arises.
Eligible applicants will have a sound academic record and enrolment (or a commitment to enrol) in a full certificate, diploma or degree course at a relevant tertiary institution.
They will also be able to demonstrate a commitment to their community through volunteering, and must be a South Burnett resident.
Applicants will need to provide a covering letter outlining their suitability for the scholarship, a current CV and any other supporting documentation they think is relevant.
Applications can be made online at Stanwell’s website and any queries can be made by email.
Applications close at 5:00pm on Friday, February 10.
