2021 University Scholarships
Winners announced
The Playford Trust was delighted to present 39 new scholarships to high-achieving young South Australians on 7 April.
The ceremony, hosted by University of South Australia in Pridham Hall, was attended by our partners, industry leaders and representatives from all three South Australian universities.
We’ve included a few photos from a very successful night below.
In all, the Trust will provide around $700,000 to support 100+ new and continuing university and TAFE students during 2021.
“This is our highest ever level of funding, which is an impressive achievement given the disruption and uncertainty caused by COVID-19,” said the Chair, Dean Brown.
“We again received great support from our partners in industry, government and the universities – and an enthusiastic response from students.”
