Residential Scholarships
The Playford Trust in partnership with Chartwells and St Ann’s College offers two residential scholarships for students residing at St Ann’s – one to a student continuing to reside at the college and the other to a student enrolling for the first time.
The scholarships support promising students intending to study science, engineering, mathematics or technology subjects at one of the three South Australian universities and who need to overcome the practical and financial disadvantages associated with having their home base located in regional South Australia.
The successful recipients will each receive accommodation at St Ann’s College to the value of $7000.
Applications for the 2021 scholarships close Friday 22 January 2021
