All scholarships are administered by the Charles Sturt University Foundation Trust, which seeks to promote excellence in the education, research and service activities of the University. Its activities include a capital development program, internships, guest lectureships, cooperative research projects and a scholarship scheme. Head of Campus Dr Beverley Moriarty said, "We congratulate our students on receiving scholarships, prizes and awards that recognise their hard work and commitment to their studies. We are very appreciative to all of our donors of scholarships and prizes and I know that our students are very appreciative as well. The generosity of our donors makes it possible for our students to complete their degrees locally and to be able to contribute back to our communities as professionals in their fields. It is especially rewarding to see donors and scholars meeting each other on the night of the awards." The scholarships ceremony will be held in conjunction with the Deans' Awards for Excellence at CSU in Dubbo from 6pm Tuesday May 27.
