Bursaries

1.   Lions Bursary (rotated through 6 Bundaberg high schools)

LIONS CLUB  of BUNDABERG  BURSARY

In 1993 the Lions Club of Bundaberg received a legacy from the Estate of John Francis Novakoski of Bundaberg.  A short time later the Club was approached by the Farmers Federation to return to the Bundaberg community monies that had been collected in this area for a “fighting fund”, and was no longer needed.  With the blessing of the trustees, both monies were pooled to form the basis of the “Lions Club of Bundaberg Bursary”.  A donation by Hon. Lions Lady Alma Ing in 1999 was added to the principal, allowing the interest to be presented as the bursary. Bundaberg Lions Club also adds to the principle from time to time. In recent years interest rates have not been high so we do subsidies the Bursary. We have managed to set the Bursary at $500 for the last few years.

This bursary is presented annually, on rotation through six secondary schools in Bundaberg.  The relevant school principal chooses the recipient.

The selection criteria for the bursary winner requires the recipient

  1.  to have good scholastic results;
  2.  not be the recipient of any other school award or bursary;
  3.  to be involved in school activities outside the classroom;
  4.  to participate in other community activities; and
  5.  to be proceeding on to tertiary studies.
