Bursary details

Financial and employment incentives to support eligible young people commencing or continuing study at a university, TAFE or other training organisation, or participating in an alternative program or employment that will support them in their career aspirations

The Bursary is named in honour of the late Bevan Costello, a valued and respected advocate for education and community justice for Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islander people. He worked tirelessly to help promote positive change not only in Cherbourg, but in Murgon, and surrounding areas of the South Burnett region. A highly admired leader, elder and traditional owner, Uncle Bevan was widely recognised for his special ability to apply his cultural knowledge and learnings into teaching; his integrity and honesty; and passion for community and restorative justice.

The Bursary provides the opportunity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people (15-24 years) to continue Uncle Bevan's legacy through their personal commitment and contribution within their local community. Two bursaries of $2,500 are available across two categories of support:

  • student category, and
  • community/employment category.

The bursaries will enable recipients to pursue higher education, an alternative schooling program or like experience in recognition of their aptitude to improve their learning and career.
