Boorowa CEF Awards Highest Amount Of Grants In A Year

Boorowa’s Country Education Foundation (CEF) has awarded local students its highest total of grants so far.

The Foundation has awarded over $55,000 to 30 local students, which topped last year’s record total.

The grants are used by the students, who are enrolled in university degrees, apprenticeships and traineeships, to support their education and employment expenses during their study and training.

An official ceremony was held at The Occasional Wine Bar in Boorowa in December last year to award the grants.

Attendees included the Hon. Steph Cooke MP, CEF Chief Executive Officer, Wendy Mason, and CEF founders, Nick and Julia Burton Taylor.

Boorowa’s CEF President, Justin Fleming, said it was an honour to recognise this year’s recipients.

“I am extremely proud to be awarding grants to this year’s recipients,” Mr Fleming said.

“We’re lucky to live in a caring community that supports our young people to establish their careers and helps them to create a bright and interesting future.”

“I would like to thank all of our sponsors for their ongoing support, and for contributing to the educational pursuits of so many of Boorowa’s young people.”

The Boorowa CEF branch would like to thank the Boorowa community for their ongoing support, including Tilt Renewables, Glenlothian Education Foundation, Mainline Automotive Equipment, Graymont, and the Burton Taylor and Corkhill families.
