Grants totalling $13 250 have been made by Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Port Macquarie to ten organisations in the Mid North Coast region. Professor Ross Chambers, the Head of Campus at CSU in Port Macquarie, said the Community-University Partnership (CUP) grants support a range of schools and community-based groups. "The University is proud to provide these grants to assist schools, sport and cultural groups to conduct activities that benefit their students and members," Professor Chambers said. "The CUP program supports Charles Sturt University's engagement with its communities, and has been enthusiastically supported on the Mid North Coast. The program demonstrates the wide range of ways in which a university in a regional setting is able to work with and add value to its community." The grants were made under three distinct CSU CUP programs; the Rural and Regional Schools Development Program, the Rural and Regional Arts and Culture Program, and the Rural and Regional Sports Development Program.
