Ideally the
scholarship funds will be awarded to the successful applicant early in the
calendar year in a lump sum payment, pending the successful completion of all
other requirements As the Scholarship
Administering Body Volunteering WA reserves the right not to award the
scholarship in any particular calendar year if no suitable applications are
received. Under these circumstances the scholarship amount of $10 000 will be
held over and ideally will be awarded in the subsequent calendar year.
If the
scholarship recipient withdraws from their course before any of the funds are spent
then the funds revert back to the Scholarship Administering Body for
re-allocation to another applicant.
