Former college student wins bank branch scholarship

A former Brisbane Water Secondary College student has received a scholarship from a local bank branch.

Ms Taylor Shaw, who is undertaking a Bachelor of Science at Macquarie University, is the recipient of the Ettalong Beach Community Bank Branch scholarship which will help supplement the costs of her first year of higher education.

This is the first year the branch has offered a scholarship, "validating its commitment to helping local students further their education".

"The calibre of applicants we had for this year's scholarship proves that our young people are an absolute asset to the Peninsula", said bank branch chairman Mr Mick Gage.

"Our branch is proud of these young people looking to further their education by attending university or TAFE.

"We are pleased that our investment in Taylor's education will help her focus on her studies and help lay a solid foundation for success during her first year," Mr Gage added.

Ms Shaw said: "I am grateful to the Ettalong Beach Community Bank Branch for helping me to attend university and to pursue my ambitions."
