A Message For Year 12 Students

Applications for 2004 CAS Hawker Scholarships open on Monday December 1st 2003 and close on Friday January 16th 2004.

The CAS Hawker Scholarships are the most generous privately funded scholarships available to undergraduate and postgraduate students in Australia. 

Established by Lilias Needham - the sister of Charles Hawker - the prestigious CAS Hawker Scholarships are valued at up to $60,000.00 over four years. 

Since 1991, the Trustees have awarded more than 1.8 million dollars to thirty-nine young Australians, including a significant number from regional areas. 

The CAS Hawker Scholarships perpetuate the memory of scholar, soldier, pastoralist and statesman Charles Allan Seymour Hawker and commemorate the achievements of one of Australia’s most respected pastoral pioneers. 

There are a number of fully and partly funded Scholarships awarded each year. The Trustees offer them to academically capable students of principle and character, who are committed to the future of Australia. Selection is based largely on personal qualities.

An application form and further information are available from the web site or by contacting the secretary to the Trustees at TOWER Trust Ltd. 

Refer to the How To Apply section for contact details.
