The Rob Seekamp Memorial Scholarship
Interested students from the Western Division of NSW are advised that The Rob Seekamp Memorial Scholarship has now been launched.
This tertiary course of study must be relevant to employment within the Western Division and is open to full-time or part-time students.
All applications are to be received by the 30th June, 2011.
In July 2011, an independent panel will select the successful applicant, who will then receive a lump sum of $2,500. The recipient will be announced at the end of July.
This scholarship is a tribute to the late Rob Seekamp of Woolcunda Station, via Broken Hill, who had a strong interest in promoting education for the betterment of folk living in the outback of NSW.

The concept of this scholarship was initiated by representatives of the NSW Farmers Association, Pastoralists Association of West Darling and the Broken Hill Ag Fair committee, all in which Rob was involved, as an active member and office bearer.
