2010 HAWKER SCHOLARSHIPS "The 2010 C.A.S. Hawker Scholarships open on December 7th and close on January 8th 2010. The scholarships, valued at up to $60,000.00 over four years, are the most generous privately funded scholarships available to undergraduate and postgraduate students in Australia.
The C.A.S. Hawker Scholarships are available to Australian students to study at a large number of Universities and Colleges. An application form, scholar profiles, including the seven recipients in 2009, FAQs and the remarkable life story of C.A.S. Hawker can be found on the website
www.hawkerscholarship.orgInformation is available by contacting the secretary to the Trustees on (08) 8127 1654. Selection is based largely on personal qualities as well as academic ability.
The scholarships commemorate the memory of scholar, soldier, pastoralist and statesman Charles Allan Seymour Hawker. The life story of C.A.S. Hawker was aired on ABC TV’s Landline in October last year. The story coincided with the 70th anniversary of the death of C.A.S. Hawker in the Kyeema air disaster.
Year 12 students who know they have shown commitment to school and/or community activities and are strong in their studies should investigate these lucrative scholarships and apply in early December to be a “Hawker Scholar” in 2010.
