Charles Sturt University (CSU) and Vinten, a manufacturer of broadcast equipment, have celebrated a decade of supporting television production students. Through the Charles Sturt University Foundation, the company has funded scholarships for the past 10 years. Now valued at $3 000, the Vinten Scholarship is awarded annually to a second and third year Bachelor of Arts (Television Production) students. Two students are selected after being tested on their knowledge of using a Vinten Studio Camera Pedestal. In 2012, Vinten scholarships were awarded to students Mr Cal Wood from Melbourne and Ms Natasha Cleary from Sydney. Mr Wood said, "My goal of becoming a professional camera operator is now a step closer. Winning this award means that my primary skill as a camera operator will be improved by a broader understanding of crew roles in a studio.” Ms Cleary thanked Vinten for her scholarship, adding, “It means that I can continue my studies with ease and it has given me even more motivation to do the very best in my studies". Vinten Strategic Planning and Project Manager, Mr Andrew Butler, said, "Our 10 years of supporting Charles Sturt University students reflects the outstanding work by the University in preparing world-class camera operators. The scholarship scheme demonstrates our commitment to producing the industry’s future talent, and we’re proud that we have been able to contribute financially as well as supporting the students learning their skills using Vinten equipment in partnership with the University."
