Western Sydney University Heather Peters Scholarship - Parramatta High School 2025

As a child growing up in Western Sydney in the 50's & 60's, education past year 10 and at university was only really available to those students who gained Commonwealth Scholarships. As a recipient of two such scholarships, I was extremely grateful to stay at high school for years 11 and 12 and then proceed to university. Those two scholarships were life-changing opportunities for me and I would like to offer four scholarships that will assist students to gain tertiary qualifications and establish careers in their new country.
