New scholarships for global travel
1 MARCH 2011
Three students studying dental science, medical radiation science and journalism at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Bathurst, Orange and Wagga Wagga have been named the winners of the inaugural Residence Life International Travel Scholarships. The new competitive scholarship scheme was established to recognise the outstanding work and commitment to continual improvement demonstrated by students within the CSU Halls of Residence. Mr Oran Yota, a Bachelor of Dental Science student in Orange, will use his $2 500 scholarship for a trip to Wattana Hospital in northeast Thailand. “I will be looking at the hospital’s dental programs, how dentists are perceived in other cultures and how they teach people in the local community,” Mr Yota said. Ms Madeline Jensen, a Bachelor of Medical Radiation Science student at CSU in Wagga Wagga, will put her $1 250 scholarship towards an overseas volunteering program in Vietnam working with orphans with disabilities in June. Ms Gabrielle Timmins, a Bachelor of Communication (Journalism) student in Bathurst, has also been awarded $1 250. She is developing a documentary examining young entrepreneurs in India, sustainable tourism initiatives and the transformation of rural India.
