Madlen Corey2012 Scholarship Winner
"The money that I was awarded for the Bill Hall Memorial Scholarship has assisted me immensely over the past two years. Along with the costs of textbooks, accommodation Fees and university fees I have found internships associated with degree in journalism to be quite costly as most of them require living away from home. I hope the Scholarship remains prominent over the coming years."
Simone Norrie2010 Scholarship Winner

During my studies I studied Mandarin in Beijing, Chinese law in Shanghai and spent my final semester studying international trade law at Uppsala University in Sweden. I'm looking forward to the challenges and exciting opportunities ahead as I commence my career. Thank you again for the support the Fund provided in my first year of university study. It assisted my moving to Sydney and the opportunity to experience all I have as a result!"
Bree Miechel1999 Scholarship Co-Winner
"The Gallipoli Scholarship has given me a wonderful start to my University career, helping me with my many University expenses - books, equipment and fees - thus allowing me to participate in and enjoy my course more fully. The Scholarship has allowed me to learn much more about my great grandfather Charles Henry Way and the men who fought at Gallipoli and the effects this battle had in shaping our nation. I have also been privileged to share an Anzac Day and Gallipoli Scholarship Presentation with some very special people, including two World War 1 veterans and a number of World War 2 veterans. It was a wonderful day! I am very grateful for this Scholarship and to all those who have worked so hard to make the Gallipoli Scholarship possible."
