A new scholarship will be added to the 2011 Charles Sturt University (CSU) Annual Scholarship Day at CSU’s Orange Campus on Friday 20 May. Eighteen scholarships are being awarded in all disciplines ranging from agricultural business and dentistry to pharmacy and physiotherapy. Among a number of new awards is the Abbott Scholarship for Australian Indigenous students of Pharmacy. This is a substantial scholarship to the value of $60,000 over four years. “Charles Sturt University is pleased to acknowledge the generous support of the Abbott Company, which was founded in the United States more than 120 years ago by Dr Wallace C Abbott, a practicing physician and pharmacy proprietor,” says Head of Campus Professor Kevin Parton. “Charles Sturt University is especially grateful to the donors of the many scholarships because, without them, many students would not be able to attend the University.”
