Students recognised by council

AVIATION management, biogeochemistry, engineering and mental health - these are just some of the areas of study being supported by the Blacktown City Council’s 2023 Tertiary Scholarship Awards.

The annual program awards the outstanding academic performance of university students who live in Blacktown

City and have completed at least one year of study at a recognised institution.

This year, Council awarded 12 students with $1,500 scholarships to assist them in their studies.

Blacktown City Mayor Tony Bleasdale said the 12 students demonstrated exceptional dedication and talent in pursuit of their university studies.

“Council is proud to champion the diversity, talent and achievements of our university students as they pursue their chosen fields,” Mayor Bleasdale said.

“We know that support from family, friends and the wider community is critical to success at university, therefore, Council is committed to helping local students achieve their academic goals.

“These students are highly-deserving recipients of these scholarships and I look forward to witnessing the contribution they will make to Blacktown City at the completion of their studies.”

“I wish our scholarship recipients all the very best in their academic endeavours and future.”
