Wattle Range Council Student Scholarships
Wattle Range Council supports students in gaining university degrees by partnering with both Flinders University and Adelaide University to provide grants and scholarships that ease financial pressures and create equal opportunities for all.
This support encourages academic success, rewards potential, and enables more young people to pursue higher education.
"By investing in students’ learning and development, the council helps build a skilled, educated community and a stronger future for the region."
Council supports and acknowledges the development of youth across the Council area. Council allocates funding for scholarships and study grants in order to support local students in their learning, development and retention in the Council area.
The scholarships and grants are offered in two separate funding categories as follows:-
