The Veolia Mulwaree Trust was established to manage and distribute funds to benefit communities within or surrounding the former Mulwaree Shire Council area in Southern NSW. The Trust’s funding is provided by Veolia Australia and New Zealand which operates the Woodlawn Eco-Precinct near Tarago in Southern NSW. The Trust is offering one scholarship to a rural stream student undertaking a clinical placement in the Goulburn Mulwaree region in 2022. The aim of the scholarship, valued at $3,000, is to assist the student with living expenses during the rural stream year.

CRITERIA:

• The scholarship is open to  rural  stream  students  undertaking  their  placement  in  the Goulburn Mulwaree Council and surrounding areas.
• The successful recipient must attend the RCS for the entire year.  If the recipient withdraws from the rural stream program during the relevant period, the RCS will determine whether any or all of the scholarship money should be repaid.
• Students who hold other scholarships which provide financial support for living and other expenses during their medical studies (such as RAMUS and MRBS), are not eligible to apply for this award.  Bonded place students without scholarships are able to apply.

STUDENT OBLIGATION:

• The Scholarship recipient will be required to submit a written report to the Veolia Mulwaree Trust Board by 30 September 2022. The report should include details of the recipient’s background and how the scholarship has been used to benefit the student during their rural stream year. The report can be emailed to vmt@veolia.com.
