Student Services : Careers 

It's great to be back again!

It’s fantastic to be back on site once again.  There is quite a bit of information to share this week, with a strong focus on our senior students, as we head into the final straight this year. A quick reminder also, it’s impossible to fit all relevant information into a fortnightly newsletter so don’t forget to check out the Weekly Career News on the Careers page of myNorthcoteHigh,

C.A.S. Hawker Scholarship

C.A.S. Hawker Scholarships are one of the most generous privately funded scholarships available to undergraduate students in Australia.  Each residential scholarship is valued at up to $60,000 over three years.  The scholarships are available to all Australian students, and the majority are usually awarded to students entering their first year of university studies.

Selection is largely based on personal qualities and demonstrated leadership as well as academic ability. Undergraduate Hawker Scholars are able to attend a range of Australian educational institutions, so this scholarship is not restricted to one university.

The Charles Hawker Scholarship perpetuates the memory of scholar, soldier and pastoralist Charles Allan Seymour Hawker and commemorates the achievements of one of Australia’s most respected statesmen.

The 2022 C.A.S. Hawker Scholarships will open on Monday 6 December and close on Friday 7 January 2022.  Current Year 12 students are encouraged to browse Hawker Scholarship for more information about the scholarship, and to download an application form.
