Do you know a local student who needs a scholarship to help them realise their dreams?

If so, the Stand Like Stone Foundation is seeking applications from students of the Limestone Coast.

Scholarship funding is available for individuals with a connection to the Limestone Coast, seeking financial support to achieve their educational goals in 2023.

Foundation chief executive Roger Babolka said scholarships were open to all ages and were available to support education from kindergarten through to tertiary and trade-based studies.

“The educational scholarship program is designed to support the people and their education who have a connection to the seven council areas within the Limestone Coast,” he said.

“Last year the foundation was able to support 34 students across our region, with more than $71,000 in scholarship grants.

“We’re extremely proud of what our scholarships can achieve, so we really encourage all those students and families in the Limestone Coast that are needing some support to get on board and apply.”

One of last year’s successful scholarship applicants was local Kangaroo Inn Area School student Tryfan Evans, who is now studying in Adelaide.

“Stand Like Stone’s generous scholarship is helping me to fulfil my desire to learn Computer Science at Adelaide University,” he said.

“This is my first time living away from home and because of scholarship funding, I have been able to board at St Marks College.

“The college provides me with meals and a safe location that I can easily walk to my lectures from and learn from my college tutors.

“I feel really fortunate for this opportunity and really appreciate this support.”

Scholarships are now open, with applications closing November 30.
