The Nambour RSL Scholarship will support students with financial need and personal hardship, who are from the local community and study at the UniSC Sunshine Coast Campus.
As a community club which exists for the benefit of the local community, Nambour RSL will give preference, where possible, to an applicant with ties to the Nambour Region, particularly those who demonstrate leadership and community commitment.

• $2,500 paid to the recipient following enrolment checks at census in Study Period 1
