Summerland Credit Union is offering a three year scholarship worth $7,500 to support a new Bachelor of Business and Enterprise student at Southern Cross University.

As a founding partner of the University’s Rising Stars Scholarship, we’ve been helping local students with their studies since 1994.

Former scholarship recipient, Luke Atkinson said he owes a lot to Summerland. “I would like to thank Summerland for giving me the opportunity to excel and focus on my university studies.”

“It has provided a massive support for me, assisting in the expense involved with university, especially in these challenging times,” added Luke.

Summerland CEO, John Williams commented that supporting the community is part of our core values. “I am proud we’re able to nurture local students in our community who hold the same ethical and sustainable values as Summerland. I look forward to catching up with our newest scholarship recipient and watching them grow as they transition into the business world.”

Supporting our communities is an integral part of Summerland’s business. That’s why last financial year we gave back over $1.1 million to a range of projects and causes across the Northern Rivers region, like the Rising Stars Scholarship.

Summerland Credit Union is delighted to offer a Rising Stars Scholarship for new Bachelor of Business and Enterprise students at Southern Cross University. Applicants can apply via the Southern Cross University website now.
