The Awards are divided into three categories:

Mayor Tracey Roberts said there were 12 successful applicants in 2019 who received the Student Scholarship Award.

“We were pleased to award students from four different schools this year; Girrawheen Senior High School, Mindarie Secondary College, Wanneroo Secondary College and Yanchep Secondary College,” Mayor Roberts said.

“Almost 37 per cent of the City’s population is aged under 25, we look forward to being able to help more school students in 2020 through these scholarships.”

The Student Scholarship Awards are a part of the Youth Reward and Recognition Policy.
