Yarraman is the most northern portion of the Toowoomba Regional Council area, squeezed between two parts of the South Burnett Regional Council area<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

November 13, 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tertiary students in Yarraman and Cooyar will again miss out on the opportunity of applying for a $5000 Council scholarship, thanks to guidelines that stipulate they must have graduated from a high school within the boundaries of the Toowoomba Regional Council area.<\/p>\n

Most Yarraman and Cooyar students complete their secondary education at high schools in Nanango or Kingaroy, within the South Burnett Regional Council area.<\/p>\n

Yarraman is a P-9 school and Crows Nest is a P-10.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Toowoomba Regional Council’s W. H. Groom scholarship winner receives $5000 in half-yearly payments.<\/p>\n

Cr Kerry Shine said eligible applicants must be between 18 and 24 and in their second or third year of full-time study at TAFE Queensland South West or the University of Southern Queensland.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe selection requirements cover a student\u2019s first and\/or second-year academic achievement and their record of community service in arts, sport or charitable groups,\u201d Cr Shine said.<\/p>\n

\u201cApplicants must have graduated from a Toowoomba Region high school and need to prove they attended high school in the region for a minimum of two years.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cStudents also need to indicate their willingness to continue full-time study in 2021.\u201d<\/p>\n

southburnett.com.au<\/strong> raised the issue with Toowoomba Regional Council last year and were told the guidelines for the scholarship could be re-considered.<\/p>\n

However, a Council spokesperson confirmed on Friday that students must have graduated from a Toowoomba Region high school so students who graduated in Nanango or Kingaroy were still not eligible.<\/p>\n

The scholarship was established in 2004 to mark the centenary of Toowoomba\u2019s proclamation as a city and to honour the achievements of Toowoomba\u2019s first mayor, William Henry Groom.<\/p>\n

Crs Kerry Shine and Deputy Mayor Geoff McDonald will be visiting Cooyar and Yarraman on November 20.<\/strong><\/p>\n

They will be at Cooyar Memorial Hall from 9:30am and when finished there will be available at the Yarraman Memorial Hall.<\/p>\n

People wishing to make an appointment should ring the Community Development Officer on 13-18-72 to make a time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
