Help offered in tertiary education to assist low-income families
Gosford Council is offering Peninsula tertiary students the chance to receive bursaries worth $1000 a year to help with their financial requirements while studying.
The bursaries are targeted towards students of low income families and one is given to a TAFE student and the other a university student.
Mayor Councillor Chris Holstein said Gosford City Council is committed to furthering education.
"Students shouldn't be denied tertiary education simply because of financial status," he said.
Applicants must have gained entry into an approved tertiary course.
The funding continues each year over the time normally taken to complete-the course.
Students who have already started their course and may be in their second or third year are also eligible to apply.
Applications close March 1 and should be addressed to: The General Manager, Gosford City Council, PO Box 21, Gosford 2250.
For more information, telephone 4325 8320.
