Hayley Fehring Rural Scholarships

A generous donation from the Fehring family and Flinders Living has enabled the establishment of the Hayley Fehring Rural Scholarship.

The purpose of the scholarship is to provide financial assistance to a rural first year student.

The value of this scholarship will be $1,000 per annum which will be credited to the recipient's Accommodation Fee account at Flinders Living.

Applicants for the scholarship must:

• be permanent residents of rural Australia; and
• normally reside outside of the Adelaide metropolitan area and the metropolitan areas of other major Australian cities (as defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics Local Council areas); and
• have lived in a rural or regional area of Australia for at least four years preceding the commencement of higher education; and
• have completed the final two years of schooling in a high school or college in a rural or regional area; and
• have not previously lived away from home on a permanent basis; and
• be in their first year of higher education study; and
• be enrolled full-time in an undergraduate course of study at Flinders University; and
• be residing at University Hall for the duration of the academic year in which the award is made; and
• be able to demonstrate financial hardship.

Note: Applicants who lived away from their rural or regional home to complete the whole or the majority of their secondary schooling at a high school or college in a major city may be considered if they are able to demonstrate special circumstances.
