Scholarship available

The Bays Community Group is calling for nominations for the Bays Community Group Scholarship valued at $250.

"Due to the limited response for candidates nominated for the Bays Community Group Scholarship Program in 2007-08, the executive committee have decided to simply begin again and ask for all nominations to be sent in by the end of September," president Mr Bob Puffett said.

"Whether you are attempting to travel overseas as an exchange student, aiming to represent your state or country in a sporting field or you're wanting to study a specific subject at university, the Bays Community Group Executive Committee wants to hear from you now.

"You may even simply be an aspiring musician who needs a little assistance with your art."

Candidates must be a Bays' resident, living in Horsfield Bay, Phegans Bay or Woy Woy Bay areas.

All applications or nominations should be sent to baysbulletin@hotmail.com with the applicant's name, address, contact number and email address.

The Bays Community Group executive committee will review all the applications received and announce the winner at the October Community Group meeting on October 15, from 7.30pm.

The winner will receive a cheque for $250 and a certificate.

"If you are nominating someone, explain why you think they should receive the scholarship," Mr Puffett said.

"If you are applying, explain why you think you should receive the scholarship, and what you plan to do with it if you win.

"Start getting your applications or nominations in now and we look forward to hearing from you."
