October 4, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

Member for Wide Bay Llew O\u2019Brien is encouraging students to apply for scholarships from the Federal Government’s $24 million Rural and Regional Enterprise Scholarships program.<\/p>\n

The program offers grants of up to $18,000 to help with the costs of studying science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM) courses at either a university or a vocational education and training institution.<\/p>\n

“One of these scholarships could help a promising student realise their potential and get a STEM education that will open a world of future possibilities,” Mr O’Brien said.<\/p>\n

“STEM skills will play a critical role in an emerging workforce and we want to make sure our students are equipped and able to participate in these jobs of the future.<\/p>\n

“More than 1200 rural, regional and remote students will receive support through the program.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The scholarships also support students by allowing flexible study arrangements as well as additional funding so students can apply for internships and be job-ready.<\/p>\n

Mr O’Brien said new guidelines would also make it easier for drought-affected students to apply, including families receiving the Farm Household Allowance.<\/p>\n

“I encourage every student in our community who wants to study STEM to apply to the program,” he said.<\/p>\n

Applications close on Friday, December 14.<\/strong><\/p>\n
