Charles Sturt University to present more than $1.8 million in
scholarships to its students
Almost 400 recipients will be presented with scholarships at five
regional ceremonies in the coming weeks
Milestone Donors will also be honoured at these
ceremonies for their decades of generosity to the University
The Charles Sturt University Foundation will award 370 scholarships worth more than $1.8 million at five regional ceremonies over the next two weeks.
Director of the Charles Sturt Advancement Office, Ms Sarah Ansell, said the University believes every student should have the opportunity to reach their full potential and go on to lead fulfilling personal, professional and civic lives.
The government has committed an additional A$1.7 billion over five years to reduce the cost of childcare for around 250,000 families with more than one child. Another $1.6 billion is going into ensuring each four-year-old child gets 15 hours of preschool a week.
But these budget announcements, framed in part as being a boost for womenâs participation in the workforce, hold no good news for the early childhood workforce â 95% of whom are women.
The increase in families using early childhood education and care relies on the stability of the workforce. At the moment, however, an increasing number of educators are leaving the profession due to low pay, feeling undervalued and too much time spent on paperwork.

Despite
recently emerging from one of the worst health crisis’ to face the world, the
number of people pursuing nursing careers with Charles Sturt University
continues to rise. Staff and students pay tribute to these healthcare workers ahead
of International Nurses Day on Wednesday 12 May.
The world has spent the past year with their eyes firmly fixed on the response of healthcare workers as they responded to the biggest health crisis of our time.
From cheers and clapping in the street to the heartbreaking tales in the media, the plight and efforts of nurses has never been more seen or appreciated.

An already dry region, Marlborough could suffer more droughts as a result of climate change. “That works for now, will it work in 20 years or 30 years? That’s all going to depend on how severe those changes might be,” he said. “Over time that might require that we take a different approach to how we grow.” The Marlborough District Council commissioned Niwa to research projections and potential impacts of climate change for the region, with the findings released last month. Niwa’s report projected average maximum temperatures to increase up to 3 degrees Celsius by 2090. The average number of “hot days” (over 25C) was expected to increase, with up to 65 more by 2090. Frosts were expected to decrease, and there could be more extreme, rare rainfall events.

The University of Technology Sydney is providing a $2 million boost for Australian researchers, offering an additional 70 domestic research scholarships this year as pandemic border restrictions continue to keep away international students.
Professor Kate McGrath, Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President (Research) at UTS, said the increase in scholarships to 234 from 163 last year would help âunderwrite this next generation of Australian researchersâ.
âThis investment is critical to maintain the universityâs research capacity over the coming years, particularly to fill the gap that will continue as long as borders remain closed to international research students,â she said.
