Scholarships and awards at Canberra Campus

The Canberra Campus (Signadou) recently congratulated winners of the 2009 ACU Scholarships and Awards with a special ceremony.

Every year, a variety of scholarships are offered at each campus to financially assist students with the costs of attending university. These scholarships are donated by local community organisations, including the Canberra Southern Cross Club and Greater Good, the Capital Region Community Foundation, along with the ACU Foundation.

All of the 2009 scholarship recipients demonstrated an outstanding commitment to community service.

2009 Scholarship Winners:

• Laurie Daniels Scholarship: Natalie Margach
• Francis Carroll Scholarship: Laura Campbell
• Canberra Southern Cross Club Doctoral Scholarship: Timothy Moore
• Canberra Southern Cross Club Scholarship: Catherine Gordon
• Aloysius Morgan Scholarship: Tianna Park

A series of Dominican Prizes were also awarded to the highest achieving students in each area of study. The prizes reinforce the University’s relationship with the Dominican Sisters, who played a pivotal role in the establishment of the teaching colleges that later became the Canberra Campus.
