Scholarships for Former Kambala Students

Nina Barden Scholarship
To be eligible an applicant must be an Old Girl of Kambala - it is not essential that she be a financial member of the Union. Applications will be received by the school from Old Girls who have just completed the second year of the Bachelor of Arts (Communications) course at either Charles Sturt-Mitchell University, Bathurst, the University of Technology, Sydney, UNSW or Sydney University. The applicant will need to establish clearly that they intend a career in journalism and will need also to provide a transcript of academic results including the second year results. The final decision on the award of the scholarship will be made by the Principal of Kambala. The Principal may require an interview with an applicant or applicants prior to the decision being made. The scholarship is not required to be awarded every year. The scholarship will take the form of a payment of approximately $3000 at the commencement of the student's third year of this course and would probably, although not necessarily, be paid directly to the University as fees remission.

The aims of the scholarship are to encourage the development of leadership skills amongst ex-students of Kambala in their early years of professional development and/or study. The recipient will take part in a pre-planned study, work experience or humanitarian aid program (of their choice) outside Australia which will assist in the development of the awardee's leadership skills and general professional development. The cost of travel up to a maximum equivalent of a return economy class round-the-world air ticket plus approximately $5000 towards living expenses will be met for this Scholarship. To be eligible, an applicant must have graduated from Kambala after having completed the HSC (or its equivalent) and be at least 20 years of age but no more than 30 years of age on the closing date of applications.
