Ken Badenoch
The Badenoch Scholarship has been designed to assist talented and motivated students facing financial hardship or disadvantage, to continue their education. Each year two scholarships are awarded ($1,000), a student at a primary school and the other at a secondary school.
Ideally, applicants for the scholarship must be able to demonstrate a talent or potential in a specific area that, given an opportunity, could develop further.
The scholarship can be used for textbooks and stationery, uniforms, camps, excursions, computers, Myki tickets, musical instruments and tuition costs and other course related costs
Rotary Melbourne is sensitive to the fact that many students shun recognition of receiving charity, so anonymity of beneficiaries will need to be observed.
The 2022 Badenoch Scholarships have been awarded to students at the River Nile Secondary School and North Melbourne Primary School and were presented at their recent end of year celebrations.
