Applications for Stanwell\u2019s Cid Burke Occupational Health and Safety Study Support Scholarship close on Monday.<\/p>\n

One South Burnett local resident will receive funding towards formal qualifications in occupational health and safety through a recognised tertiary institution.<\/p>\n

The scholarship is designed to support school leavers, or recent school leavers, with a passion for both workplace health and safety, and their community, to transition to tertiary studies.<\/p>\n

Tarong power stations Acting Site Manager Owen Bevan said the scholarship was a fantastic opportunity for someone who actively participated in the local South Burnett community to kick-start their career in workplace health and safety, or a related field.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe understand the challenges that regional students face when moving away from home to study, and the difficulties this may pose for both the student and their family,\u201d Mr Bevan said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe scholarship has been designed with those challenges in mind, to support a South Burnett student with both their study and accommodation costs throughout the duration of their course.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIn addition to funding, the scholarship provides the recipient with the opportunity to receive assistance and guidance from an industry mentor, and to take up vacation employment with Stanwell.\u201d<\/p>\n

To be eligible for the scholarship, applicants must:<\/strong><\/p>\n
