Lockhart baker Steve Peters has awarded the first of his Blue Bird Cafe Restaurant scholarships to nursing student Holly Louise Fordham. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Peters is giving something back to the community by offering university students from Lockhart Shire the chance to receive some money from the scholarship incentive he is offering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The scholarship will enable more than one student to share in some of the money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Peters said the cafe had collected tips from customers to help provide funds for the scholarships. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

”We collected our tips and saved them and have over $1000,” Mr Peters said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

”The applicants have to reside in the Lockhart Shire and have to be enrolled full-time or part-time at any university during Semester 2, 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

”The best answers were chosen by a panel of three local residents.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first scholarship recipient, Ms Fordham, who is a fourth generation Lockhart Shire resident, studies at Wagga’s Charles Sturt University. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Peters congratulated her as the first winner of the cafe’s ”Living Expenses University Scholarship”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

”Many local people will recognise the Fordham name from her mother who nursed at Lockhart Hospital and father who worked with the Lockhart Shire Council,” Mr Peters said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

”Our scholarships are funded from tips received at our counter which are then matched by our donation, dollar-for-dollar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

”From that perspective, if you have ever added a tip with your purchase, you have in effect helped, even in a small way, winners from our shire to reach completion of their tertiary studies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

”Thank you for your kindness.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms Fordham is a second year full-time student in a Bachelor of Nursing degree. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She is enrolled in the following subjects: Indigenous Health Care For Nurses, Pharmacology and Therapeutics for Nurses, Nursing Workplace Learning 4 and Clinical Reasoning in Nursing 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms Fordham outlined the reasons why she would be a worthy scholarship recipient in her application. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

”Nursing involves practical and theoretical components, expenses include uniforms, clinic equipment and text books, plus regular travel from home to university for lectures, tutorials and pracs,” she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

”Nursing students are required to undertake two annual practical placements located around New South Wales, commencing at one to two weeks, rising to five-week placements in third year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

”Costs involved include travel to placements, daily travel during placements and accommodation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

”Distant placements halt income from casual employment and unavailability for casual rosters impacts ongoing employment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

”Upon graduation, I will work in a rural location, being acutely aware of the shortage of nurses in rural and remote areas.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The students who are chosen to be part of the scholarship program will receive a varying amount of money, with the total amount depending on how many examinations in which they are successful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Peters said more scholarships were on offer through his business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

”The winners will be entitled to receive $250 per subject that they successfully pass during this semester,” Mr Peters said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

”The money will be paid on confirmation of each of the students’ results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

”We are keen to find at least one more winner so if you are a shire resident, a full-time or part-time student and undertaking university studies this term, please nominate yourself, your child, or your friend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

”Tell us what your subjects are, what degree and in 50 to 100 words, why you think you deserve a scholarship of up to $1000.”<\/p>\n\n\n
