Oak Flats & Shellharbour Community Bank is a division of the Bendigo Bank. They have been sponsoring scholarships at UOW since 2007.
Part of the Oak Flats & Shellharbour Community Bank constitution is to support their local community, and providing scholarships is one of many ways they give back to the community. Connie Gamble was a beloved friend of the Bank who graduated in Communications & Media and did a Graduate Diploma of Education at the University of Wollongong. The Oak Flats & Shellharbour Community Bank would therefore like to support a first year student, studying an eligible degree with the Faculty of Arts, Social Science and Humanities at the University of Wollongong.
Applicants will be asked to provide a one page outline of their involvement in the Shellharbour Shire Council and/or Gerringong communities, as well as detailing how the scholarship will assist with their career ambitions.
